In a mercury arc rectifier________ flow from anode to cathode
Correct answer: A. ions
- A. ions
- B. electrons
- C. ions and electrons
- D. any of the above
Explanation
The mercury arc contains positive mercury ions moving from the anode towards the cathode, while electrons move in the opposite direction. Hence, ions are the particles flowing from anode to cathode.
