$A$ galvanic cell has an electrical potential of $1.1 \ V$. If an opposing potential of $1.1 \ V$ is applied to this cell,what will happen to the cell reaction and the current flowing through the cell?

  • A
    The cell reaction continues and current flows.
  • B
    The cell reaction stops and no current flows through the cell.
  • C
    The cell reaction reverses and current flows in the opposite direction.
  • D
    The cell reaction accelerates and current increases.
