The electric current obtained from galvanic cell is a result of electrons being pushed forced from the negative electrode, through an external wire, to positive electrode. The force with which these electrons move through the wire is called:

Correct answer: D. Both A and C

  • A. Electromotive force
  • B. Electrode potential
  • C. Cell potential
  • D. Both A and C

Explanation

Emf or cell potential is the force used to drive electron in a circuit.

About Electrochemistry

Electrochemistry describes electron transfer through oxidation and reduction, identifies oxidizing and reducing agents, and applies oxidation numbers to balance redox equations. It also covers electrode potential and the standard hydrogen electrode, which provides the reference for comparing the reduction tendencies of other electrodes.
