In a galvanic cell, reduction takes place at the:
ASalt bridge
BCathode side
CAnode side
DVoltmeter
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Cathode side
1. The other half-cell is where reduction happens.
2. That half-cell is called the cathode.
3. It carries a positive potential with respect to the solution.
