NEET Chemistry Galvanic Cells Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): In a galvanic cell, the anode is negatively charged. | Reason (R): In a galvanic cell, oxidation occurs at the anode.
Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
A is true, but R is false.
A is false.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
In a galvanic cell, oxidation occurs at the anode, leading to electron release and a negative charge. This aligns with the NCERT description of a galvanic cell's function.
