In the galvanic cell, flow of electrons is from

A

cathode to a anode in solution

B

anode to caltlhode in external wire

C

cathode to anode in external wire

D

anode to cathode in solution

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

In a galvanic cell, electrons move through the external circuit form the negative electrode (anode), where they are produced by the anode half-reaction, to the positive electrode, where they are consumed by the cathode half-reaction. In solution (internal circuit) the current is carried by the ions.
