Which outcome results when a magnesium anode sacrificial element is electrically isolated from a steel pipeline?

💡 Explanation

The galvanic corrosion protection is nullified because electron transfer during *electrochemical oxidation* relies on electrical continuity between the magnesium and steel; therefore, the anode ceases to protect the pipeline, rather than modulating protection or ceasing oxidation.
