In an electrolytic solution the electric current is mainly due to the movement of free electrons.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

False: An electrolyte solution is formed by mixing an electrolyte in a solvent. The electrolyte on dissolution furnishes
ions. The preferred movement of ions under the influence of
electric field is responsible for electric current.
