Chemistry- Electrolysis mystery?

Hi,i recently constructed a hofmann apparatus at home out of pvc and had some trouble with it. Basically, once it is set up, i only get gas from one electrode, the other does nothing. H2SO4 is used as the electrolyte, and the is 12 volts at 4 amps being put through it, DC. are there any simple flaws i am over looking as i just want to keep the oxygen and hydrogen separate.The electrodes are both made of copper sheet metal.thanks, your help is greatly appreciated.
