MCQ
In the electrolytic cell, flow of electrons is from:
  • A
    Cathode to anode in solution.
  • B
    Cathode to anode through external supply.
  • Cathode to anode through internal supply.
  • D
    Anode to cathode through internal supply.

Answer

Correct option: C.
Cathode to anode through internal supply.
Hint: Electrons flow from the negative to a positive end.
Step $1:\ A$ cell in which Electrical energy is used to cause a non$-$spontaneous oxidation and reduction reaction is called an Electrolytic cell.
The electrolytic cell requires an energy input to proceed.
Step $2:\ $ Electrolytic cell contains three parts Cathode, Anode, and electrolyte.
Positive electrode is called anode.
Negative electrode is called Cathode.
An electrolyte is a substance in an aqueous or molten form that dissociates into ions and conducts electricity.
In a electrolytic cell, electrons are transferred from cathode to anode through internal supply.
