Q. Assertion (A) Platinum and gold are used as inert electrodes.
Reason (R) $Pt$ and $Au$ do not participate in the reaction and provide the surface for oxidation or reduction.

Electrochemistry

Solution:

Metals like platinum or gold are used as inert electrodes. They do not participate in the reaction but provide their surface for oxidation or reduction reactions and for conduction of electrons.
