Solution

The correct option is B Cathode to anode in outer circuit
In electrolytic cell, current flows from cathode to anode in outer circuit and in daniell cell, it is reverse direction of flow of current from anode to cathode in outer circuit.

Q. In a Daniell cell, current flows from cathode to anode outside the cell.

If the statement is true enter 1, else enter 0.

Q. Statement

1

: In an electrolytic cell, the anode becomes positive and the cathode becomes negative.
Statement

2

: Anions migrate to the anode and cations migrate to the cathode.

Q. Why is cathode in an electrolytic cell considered to be negative and anode positive?

Assertion: In a Daniell cell, electrons flow from zinc electrode to copper electrode outside the cell.

Reason: In Daniell cell, Zn electrode is anode and Cu is cathode.
