In a nickel and copper electrolytic cell, nickel would likely be the anode since it typically undergoes oxidation to release electrons into the external circuit. Copper, on the other hand, would be the cathode where reduction reactions occur.
In this scenario, copper would corrode because it is lower in the galvanic series compared to steel. When two dissimilar metals are in contact in an electrolyte, the metal higher in the galvanic series (steel) acts as the anode and corrodes, while the metal lower in the series (copper) acts as the cathode and is protected.

Yes, copper sulfate is an electrolyte.
Usually in a school experiment, you put copper solution into glass. Then you add Positively and negatively charged sticks which are connected with each other and plugged into electricity, which makes pure copper form on the negatively charged stick.
Both nickels and dimes are composed of Copper and Nickel. A dime, however, is 91.67% Copper and 8.33% Nickel, while a nickel is 75% Copper and 25% Nickel. Since Copper is a bit denser than Nickel, and a dime contains relatively more Copper, than a dime would be denser than a nickel.
The solid copper is a conductor but not an electrolyte.
Copper itself is one of the elements. It contains nothing but copper. It might be alloyed with nickel sometimes, but that would not always be the case.You may be thinking of the fact that nickel was sometimes found mixed in with copper ore. Its hardness compared to that of copper caused such problems for miners in Saxony that they called it "Kupfernickel", a German word that translates roughly as "Devil's copper". Eventually the "Kupfer" prefix was dropped, giving us the word we use today.
The solvent in a nickel coin is the metal nickel itself, while the solute would be any impurities or other metals present in the alloy. Nickel coins are typically composed of a mixture of nickel, copper, and other metals.
