Q. In Agalvanic cell, the electrons flow from
A) Anode to cathode through the solution
B) Cathode to anode through the solution
C) Anode to cathode through the external circuit
D) Cathode to anode through the external circuit
Explanation
(c)
In Agalvanic cell, oxidation ($i.e.,$ removal of$e^{-}$) occurs at anode. These electrons flow through external circuit from anode to cathode. Therefore, the direction of current in external circuit is from cathode (- ve) to anode (+ ve).
