MCQ
In the electrolytic cell, flow of electrons is from:
  • A
    Cathode to anode in solution.
  • B
    Cathode to anode through external supply.
  • C
    Cathode to anode through internal supply.
  • D
    Anode to cathode through internal supply.

Answer

  1. Cathode to anode through internal supply.

Explanation:

Hint: Electrons flow from the negative to a positive end.

Step 1: A cell in which Electrical energy is used to cause a non-spontaneous oxidation and reduction reaction is called an Electrolytic cell.
The electrolytic cell requires an energy input to proceed.

Step 2:  Electrolytic cell contains three parts Cathode, Anode, and electrolyte.

Positive electrode is called anode.

Negative electrode is called Cathode.

An electrolyte is a  substance in an aqueous or molten form that dissociates into ions and conducts electricity.

In a electrolytic cell, electrons are transferred from cathode to anode through internal supply.
