Two electrolytic cells are connected in series. The 1st cell contains copper sulfate solution while the 2nd cell contains silver nitrate solution. The deposited silver in the cathode of the 2nd cell is 0.2 g lighter than the deposited copper in the cathode of the 1st cell. With a constant current of 0.5 A, when will the cathodes of the two electrolytic weigh the same?
