Single Choice

In the electrolytic cell, flow of electrons is from:

Acathode to anode in solution
Bcathode to anode through external supply
Ccathode to anode through internal supply
Correct Answer
Danode to cathode through internal supply

Solution

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.

Final answer: Therefore, the correct option is "C".
