They were first declared in an attempt to verify that regular stoichiometric rules apply during the namesake reaction.  One states that the charge, Q, required to deposit or liberate a mass, m, is proportional to the charge, z, of the involved ion and inversely proportional to the relative ionic mass.  The other states that the amount of chemical change during the namesake process is proportional to the charge passed.  FTP, identify these two laws of electrolysis, named for a British physicist.
