When the electric current is passed through a cell having an electrolyte, the positive ions move towards cathode and negative ions toqards the anode. If the cathode is pulled out of the solution .

A

The positive and the negative ions both will move towards the anode.

B

The positive ions will start moving towards the anode, the negative ions will stop moving.

C

The negative ions will continue to move towards the anode, the positive ions will stop moving

D

The positive and negative ions will start moving randomly.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
If the cathode is removed, then circuit breaks. The ions will start with their usual random movement.
