In the electrolytic cell, flow of electrons is form :

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

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:

C

In an electrolytic cell, electrons do not flow themselves. It is the migration of ions towards oppositely charged electrons that indirectly constitutes the flow of electrons from cathode to anode through internal supply.
