When electric current is passed through a cell having an electrolyte, the positive ions move towards the cathode and the negative ions towards the anode. If the cathode is pulled out of the solution.
A
The positive and negative ions will move towards the
anode
B
The positive ions will start moving towards the anode, the
negative ions will stop moving
C
The negative ions will continue to move towards the
anode and the positive ions will stop moving
D
The positive and negative ions will start moving randomly
Answer
The positive and negative ions will start moving randomly
Explanation
Solution
In the absence of electric field the ions in the solution move randomly due to thermal energy.
