How is a galvanic cell conventionally represented with respect to the position of the anode and cathode?

Options

  1. AAnode on the right, cathode on the left.
  2. BAnode on the left, cathode on the right.
  3. CAnode and cathode on the same side.
  4. DAnode and cathode at the top and bottom, respectively.

Correct answer

B. Anode on the left, cathode on the right.

Step-by-step solution

It is conventionally accepted to represent a galvanic cell with the anode on the left and the cathode on the right.
