What effect does the current produce when it flows through a conducting solution?

The passage of an electric current through a conducting solution causes chemical reactions. As a result, bubbles of gas are formed, deposits of metal on electrodes may be seen and changes of colour of solution may occur, depending on what solutions and electrodes are used. These are some of the chemical effects of the electric current.
