Options

  1. ACell ‘A’ will act as electrolytic cell as it has lower emf
  2. BCell ‘B’ will act as electrolytic cell as it has lower emf
  3. CBoth Cell ‘A’ and ‘B’ will act as electrolytic cell
  4. DNeither Cell ‘A’ nor Cell ‘B’ will act as electrolytic cell

Correct answer

B. Cell ‘B’ will act as electrolytic cell as it has lower emf

Step-by-step solution

Correct Option is : (B) Cell ‘B’ will act as electrolytic cell as it has lower emf
