Voltameter, Copper

An apparatus which may be of similar construction with the silver voltameter (see Voltameter, Silver), but in which a copper anode and a solution of copper sulphate are substituted for the silver anode and silver nitrate solution. One coulomb corresponds to.329 milligram or .005084 grain of copper deposited. It is not accepted as of as high a standard as the silver voltameter. The electrodes should be placed half an inch from each other. Two square plate electrodes may conveniently be used, and not le than two square inches on each plate should be the area per ampere of current. 564   STANDARD ELECTRICAL DICTIONARY.
