Question

In an electrochemical cell, electrons travel in which direction?
Options
A from the anode to the cathode through the external circuit
Correct Answer
B from the anode to the cathode through the porous cup
C from the cathode to the anode through the external circuit
D from the cathode to the anode through the porous cup
Correct Answer

Option A is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Electrons are released at the anode (oxidation) and travel through the external circuit to the cathode (reduction).

Hint

Remember: AN OX (Anode = Oxidation), RED CAT (Reduction = Cathode). Electrons flow from anode to cathode.
