Answer:
During electrolysis, the ionization of the electrolyte takes place when the charges move to opposite electrodes from positive and negative electrodes. ... If we use ac supply then the polarity of the electrodes keeps changing which will affect the electrolysis. Therefore, ac cannot be used in electrolysis.
