At the positive electrode, which is called the anode, oxygen gas is produced when copper sulfate is electrolyzed. This is because copper ions are being oxidized to form copper oxide at the anode, along with the release of oxygen gas.
Pure copper collects at the cathode during electrolysis because copper ions are reduced at the cathode, gaining electrons and forming solid copper.
Copper ions in a solution typically move towards the cathode electrode during electrolysis, as they gain electrons and are reduced to form solid copper. This process helps to plate the cathode with a layer of copper metal.
Electrolysis can be used to split copper chloride into copper and chlorine. By passing an electric current through a solution of copper chloride, the chloride ions (Cl-) will be attracted to the positive electrode (anode) where they undergo oxidation to form chlorine gas, while the copper ions (Cu2+) will be attracted to the negative electrode (cathode) where they are reduced to form solid copper.

The metal strips are called electrodes. The positive electrode is known as the anode, and the negative electrode is called the cathode. They are used to conduct electricity through the electrolyte solution to facilitate the electrolysis process.

During the electrolysis of copper chloride, chlorine gas is formed at the anode. This is because chloride ions (Cl-) are attracted to the positive electrode (anode) and are oxidized to form chlorine gas.
Copper ions will move towards the cathode (negative electrode) and iron ions will move towards the anode (positive electrode) in an electrolytic cell.
If it is electrolysis you are talking about, I'm fairly confident the impure copper has to be connected to the positive terminal.

Usually hydrogen will evolve from the cathode and oxygen from the anode, but if zinc is the anode, it may dissolve to produce zinc ions in the solution either instead of or along with oxygen evolving.
In a zinc-copper cell, zinc gives up electrons, forming the negative terminal of the cell, and the electrons flows as electric current through wires. When the electrons reach the other positive terminal, electrolysis of the electrolyte takes place at the positive terminal. Hydrogen ions and the cation of the electrolyte will be attracted to the positive Copper electrode. The hydrogen ions, being less reactive than the cation ions, will take up the electrons on the copper electrode, forming hydrogen gas.
