(i) Scattering of light by the colloidal particles takes place and the path of light becomes visible (Tyndall effect).
(ii) The positively charged colloidal particles of Fe(OH)3 get coagulated by the oppositely charged Cl- ions provided by NaCl.
(iii) On passing direct current, colloidal particles move towards the oppositely charged electrode where they lose their charge and get coagulated.
