In an electrolytic cell current flows

A

Cathode to anode in outer circuit

B

Anode to cathode outside the cell

C

Cathode to anode inside the cell

D

Current does not flow

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
In electrolylic cell current flows from cathode to another because flow of current is just opposite to flow of electrons.
