Question
What happens if external potential applied becomes greater than E°cell of electrochemical cell?

Solution
If the external potential applied becomes greater than the E°cell of electrochemical cell, then the reaction gets reversed and the electrochemical cell acts as an electrolytic cell and vice-versa.
