Define the distance effect regarding galvanic corrosion?

Define the distance effect regarding galvanic corrosion? Correct Answer Corrosion decreases with increase in distance from the junction

The galvanic effect is the potential difference formed between two or more metals at its junction. It decreases on moving away from the junction. Hence corrosion decreases with an increase in distance from the junction.

Mohan traveled five cities (A, B, C, D and E) starting from home by a car which has a mileage such that the car can travel 10 km in 1 liter petrol. Distance between city A and B is twice the distance between home to city A. Distance between city B and C is thrice the distance between home to city A. Distance between city C and D is 100. Distance between city D and E is 1.5 times than the distance between B and C. Average distance traveled by Mohan was 41 km between five cities. Find how much petrol was needed by Mohan to travel from city B to D.
Consider the following statements regarding corrosion of ceramic material: 1. Ceramic materials are much better suited to withstand most of these environments for reasonable time periods than are metals. 2. Corrosion of ceramic materials generally involves simple chemical dissolution, in contrast to the electrochemical processes found in metals. 3. Ceramic materials are not frequently used because of their non-resistance to corrosion. Which of the above statements is/are correct?
