The electrodes would wear down faster, and electroplating would require less current. The aluminum refining industry would lay gold at your feet - electricity is expensive:) A brief trip through google produced many references to Faraday's laws. Here's one: "Faraday's investigations into the nature of electricity also led him to formulate new scientific laws. For example, he determined that in electrolysis the mass of a substance deposited or dissolved at the electrode will be proportional to the amount of charge that passes through the solution - this became the first law of electrolysis." http://www.enc.org/features/calendar/unit/0,1819,196,00.shtm Faraday's work eventually led to the discovery of the electron: http://www.nidlink.com/~jfromm/history/electrons.htm OT, but Faraday was recognized by his peers as one of the most important scientists of the time. Here's a beautiful article by Hemholtz in 1881: http://dbhs.wvusd.k12.ca.us/Chem-History/Helmholtz-1881.html I think his work pretty well established that one electron accounts for one ion, and his laws are on pretty solid ground.
