Question

Cell 'A' with O.P. = 10 atm and T.P. = 5 atm. is in contact with cell 'B' having O.P. = 15 atm and T.P. = 12 atm. The flow of water will be

• A. From A to B
• B. Equal flow
• C. From B to A
• D. No flow

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

From B to A

By the equation, we can calculate the DPS for both of the cells.

DPD = OP -TP

Hence DPD for A is 5 atm and for B, it is 3 atm. The flow of water will occur from low to higher pressure hence the flow of water occurs from cell B to A.

So the correct answer is 'From B to A'.
