Answers-

(i) Zn electrode is negatively charged because it loses electrons (act as an anode)

(ii) electron flow from negatively charged electrode to a positively charged electrode (anode to cathode) and the flow of current is just reversed. So current flow through silver cathode to the zinc anode.

(iii) At Anode-  Zn\rightarrow Zn^{2+}+2e^{-}

   At Cathode Ag^{+}+e^{-}\rightarrow Ag
