Corrosion of the anode may be significantly higher ________ to the connection to the cathode, depending on solution conductivity.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Corrosion occurs when there is a flow of electrons from the anode to the cathode. When the anode and cathode are adjacent, there is a shorter distance for the electrons to travel, resulting in a higher corrosion rate compared to when they are parallel or perpendicular. The diagonal position does not affect the corrosion rate significantly. Therefore, B is the best choice.

Corrosion of the Anode May Be Significantly Higher ________ to the Connection
