Paheli wants to deposit silver on an iron spoon. She took silver nitrate $(AgNO_3)$ solution in a beaker and set up a simple circuit for electroplating. Which terminal of the battery should the spoon be connected to? What material should the other electrode be made of?

As Paheli wants to deposit silver on an iron spoon. So, the iron spoon should be used as a negative electrode which is possible only if the spoon is connected to the negative terminal of the battery. And the silver should be used as another electrode for electroplating so that silver ions may deposit to the iron spoon.
