Question

In a galvanic cell electron flow will be from:


  1. positive electrode to negative electrode
  2. negative electrode to positive electrode
  3. there will be no flow of electrons
  4. cathode to anode in the extenal circuit

A
negative electrode to positive electrode
B
there will be no flow of electrons
C
positive electrode to negative electrode
D
cathode to anode in the extenal circuit
Solution
Verified by Toppr


Electron flows opposite to the direction of current,
i.e. from low to high voltage.
Electron flows from negative to the positive electrode.

Hence, the correct option is A
