Question

In an electrolytic cell:

• A. anode is positively charged
• B. cathode is negatively charged
• C. oxidation takes place at anode
• D. reduction takes place at cathode

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B), (C), (D)

The correct options are
A anode is positively charged
B oxidation takes place at anode
C reduction takes place at cathode
D cathode is negatively charged

In electrolytic cell,

anode is positively charged and $-ve$ charged ions are attracted to it and oxidation takes place by loss of electron,

cathode is negatively charged and $+ve$ charge ions are attracted to it and reduction takes place by gain of electron;

hence, all options are corrrect.
