In the electrolytic cell, flow of electrons is form :

A

cathode to anode in the 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:
B
In an electrolytic cell, electrons enter the cathode and leave at the anode. Thus, in the external supply, electrons flow from cathode to anode. In the solution, only ions flow and not the electrons.
