Which consequence results when the applied voltage surpasses the decomposition potential in an electrolysis setup?

💡 Explanation

Applying over-potential causes electrolysis, where external energy overcomes the energy barrier, enabling non-spontaneous reactions due to the Electrolytic reaction mechanism. Therefore, option B is correct, rather than altered ionic mobility which affects conductivity and operates under Ohms law.
