Question

Explain movement of ions in electrolyte, when electrodes are connected to the battery

Answer 1

When a battery is connected to a circuit, the electrons from the anode travel through the circuit toward the cathode in a direct circuit. The voltage of a battery is synonymous with its electromotive force, or emf. This force is responsible for the flow of charge through the circuit, known as the electric current.

Answer 2

Explanation:

The electrodes in connected to the battery are either positively charged or they are negatively charged. ... The ions inside the electrolyte are also positively and negatively charged. Negatively charged ion is called anion and positively charged ion is called cation. We know that opposite charges attract each other.
