Question

In a voltaic cell, electrons flow through the external circuit from:
Options
A the cathode to the anode
B the anode to the cathode
Correct Answer
C the salt bridge to the electrode
D the electrolyte to the electrode
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Electrons are produced at the anode (oxidation) and flow through the external circuit to the cathode (reduction). The flow of electrons is always from anode to cathode.

Hint

Remember: oxidation occurs at the anode, reduction at the cathode. Electrons are released at the anode.
