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

Cathode rays:

1.The deflecting plates deflected the particles in one direction.


2. Magnetic coils deflected the particles in the other direction.



3. They travel in straight lines and cast sharp shadows.



4. They are beams of tiny, negatively charged particles called electrons.



5. they have energy and can do work.



ANODE:-



1. They Travel in straight lines: They cast a shadow of the objects placed in their way.



2.They are capable of producing physical and chemical changes.



3.They Produce mechanical effect: A paddle wheel placed in their path starts rotating.



4.They Produce mechanical effect: A paddle wheel placed in their path starts rotating.



5.They can penetrate thin metal foils.
