Question

difference between cathode and anode

Answer 1

⚫ Anode

♦ The electrode connected to the positive terminal of the battery.

♦ Current enters the electrolyte through the anode.

♦ Anions migrate and discharge at the anode.

⚫ Cathode

♦ The electrode connected to the negative terminal of the battery.

♦ The battery current leave the electrolyte through the cathode.

♦ Cations migrate and discharge at the cathode

Answer 2

ANODE :
------------

↪Anode is the electrode that positive current flows INTO from the outside .

↪Anode is positive in an electrolytic cell .

CATHODE :
-----------------

↪Cathode is the electrode that is flows from ( to the outside )

↪Cathode is negative in an electrolytic cell .
