dear dissimilar
i always thought that was a hair removal term ... electrolysis
but i guess it does have more application according to wiki
Main article: Faraday's laws of
electrolysis<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faraday%27s_laws_of_electrolysis>
[edit<http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Electrolysis&action=edit&section=8>
] First law of electrolysis

In 1832, Michael Faraday
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Faraday>reported that the
quantity of elements separated by passing an electrical
current through a molten or dissolved
salt<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt>is proportional to the quantity
of electric charge passed through the
circuit. This became the basis of the first law of electrolysis:

[image: m = k \cdot q]
[edit<http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Electrolysis&action=edit&section=9>
] Second law of electrolysis

Faraday also discovered that the mass <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass> of
the resulting separated elements is directly proportional to the atomic
masses <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_mass> of the elements when an
appropriate integral divisor is applied. This provided strong evidence that
discrete particles of matter exist as parts of the atoms of elements.
