Question

Assertion (A) The electrons are transferred from zinc to copper through the wire which connects the two rods.
Reason (R) Electricity flows through the salt-bridge by migration of ions from one beaker to other.

• A. Both $A$ and $R$ are correct; $R$ is the correct explanation of $A$.
• B. Both $A$ and $R$ are correct; $R$ is not the correct explanation of $A$.
• C. $A$ is correct; $R$ is incorrect.
• D. $A$ is incorrect; $R$ is correct.

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

The electrons are transferred from $Zn$ to $C{u}^{2+}$ through the metallic wire which connects the two rods. While electricity flows through the salt-bridge by migration of ions from one beaker to other.
Thus, both $A$ and $R$ are correct but $R$ is not the correct explanation of $A$.
