Answer:
the cathode will suffer material loss
Explanation:
Galvanic corrosion is a type of corrosion which is caused due to difference in electrode potential of two metals.
Thus it is true that: it takes place between two dissimilar metals
the metal with less standard electrode potential will undergo corrosion as it will act as anode and the other will acts as cathode. The electron transfer will occur only when the cathode and anode are in direct contact with each other, thus it is true to say that,
the metals must be in contact so that electrons can flow between them
one material acts as anode the other as cathode
The one and best way to prevent galvanic corrosion is two block the direct contact between the two metals so that there cannot be any electron flow between cathode and anode hence we use rubber gasket kind of insulating material.
The anode undergoes oxidation and lose electrons and it is the one which suffers material loss in the process. Hence the given statement that the cathode will suffer material loss is wrong.
