In the process of silver-plating a metal M, the metal M is the?

A.

anode and a direct current is used

B.

cathode and an alternating current is used

C.

anode and an alternating current is used

D.

cathode and a direct current is used

Correct answer is D

Plating requires ions to flow through an electrolyte in an electric field. Positive ions flow with the electric field, negative ions against the electric field. This electric field comes from a DC supply connected to the electrodes. While silver plating, Ag is the anode while the metal to be coated is the cathode.
