\mathrm{\frac{Mass ~of ~Au ~deposited}{Mass ~of ~Cu ~deposited} = \frac{Eq ~Mass ~of ~Au }{Eq~Mass ~of ~Cu }}

\mathrm{\frac{8.85}{\text { Mass of Cu deposited }}} = \frac{197 / 3}{63.5 / 2}

\mathrm{\text { Mass of Cu deposited }=4.27 \mathrm{~g}}

\mathrm{\text { Applying } \omega=\frac{\text { zit }}{96500}}

\mathrm{4.27=\frac{63.5/2 \times i \times 4 \times 60 \times 60}{96500}}

\mathrm{ i=\frac{4.27 \times 96500}{31.75 \times 4 \times 3600} \\ }

\mathrm{ i=0.90 \mathrm{~A} }
