An electrochemical cell can behave like ...

An electrochemical cell can behave like an electrolytic cell when _____

A

`E_("cell")=0`

B

`E_("cell") gt E_("ext")`

C

`E_("ext") gt E_("cell")`

D

`E_("cell") =E_("ext")`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
When `E_("ext") gt E_("cell")`, electrons flow from cathode to anode, i.e., cell behaves like an electrolytic cell.
