The anode is the electrode where electricity moves into. The cathode is the electrode where electricity is given out or flows out of. The anode is usually the positive side. A cathode is a negative side. ... In an electrolytic cell, oxidation reaction takes place at the anode.
The anode is regarded as negative in a galvanic (voltaic) cell and the cathode is deemed positive. This seems appropriate because the anode is the origin of electrons and where the electrons flow is the cathode.
