When an electric current is passed through a cell having an electrolyte, then the cations and anions move to their respective electrodes if the cathode is pulled out of the solution then

A

the positive and negative ions will move towards anode

B

the positive ions will start moving towards the anode while negative ions will stop moving

C

the negative ions will continue to move towards anode while 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
On removal of cathode, potential will not remain longer which results into random motion of ions.
