alleryIn a galvanic cell, electrons flow externally from:
ABoth directions equally
BCathode to anode
CAnode to cathode
DEither depending on circuit
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Anode to cathode
**In external circuit:** electrons flow from anode (oxidation, source of electrons) to cathode (reduction, sink).
Conventional current is opposite (cathode to anode externally).
