Question

In which direction will the ionic paste allow the electrons to flow within a battery?



positive side to negative side
positive side to negative side

positive side to positive side
positive side to positive side

negative side to negative side
negative side to negative side

negative side to positive side

Answer 1

In a battery, the ionic paste (or electrolyte) allows the flow of ions, but the flow of electrons occurs through the external circuit. Electrons flow from the negative side (anode) to the positive side (cathode) of the battery.

So, the correct direction for the flow of electrons within the battery is:

**negative side to positive side**.
