Electrolysis is the process of performing a chemical reaction using an electric current, so the current is essential. You can consider the electrons as a reagent. For example, in electrodeposition of Cu+2 + 2e ---> Cu, it takes two electrons to reduce every atom of Cu+2. For moe information, check out Faraday's law in any general chemsistry bo
