6.What is true about electric potential and electrolytic cells? A.Electrolytic cells depend on an outside source of electricity to cause electrons to flow in the opposite direction.   B.Electrolytic cells use the chemical energy from spontaneous redox reactions to generate electrical energy.    C.All electrochemical cells have a positive electric potential; therefore, electrolytic cells also have positive electric potentials.   D.The electric potential of an electrolytic cell may be negative or positive, depending on the electrodes.
