Question

The passage of electricity in the Daniell cell when $Zn$ and $Cu$ electrodes are connected is from:

• A. $Cu$ to $Zn$ in the cell
• B. $Cu$ to $Zn$ outside the cell
• C. $Zn$ to $Cu$ outside the cell
• D. $Zn$ to $Cu$ in the cell

Answer 1

The correct option is B $Cu$ to $Zn$ outside the cell

In Daniell cell, Zn acts an anode and Cu acts as cathode, electron flow takes place from anode to cathode and hence, electricity flows from Cu to Zn outside the cell.
