What if i use 1 volt and 10 miliamp power for home electrolysis? is that safe?
Accepted Answer
Electrolysis with 1 volt and 10 milliamps is unlikely to be dangerous for small-scale experiments. However, it's important to consider safety precautions:
Use a low-voltage power source: A 1.5V battery is a common and safe option.
Ensure proper insulation: Use insulated wires and equipment to avoid electrical shocks.
Avoid contact with water: Electrolysis often involves water, and contact with electricity can be dangerous.
Use appropriate electrolytes: Certain electrolytes can be corrosive or flammable. Use appropriate solutions and containers.
Ventilation: Ensure good ventilation to prevent the buildup of potentially hazardous gases, especially if you are working with corrosive electrolytes.
