No, in an electrolytic cell, the electrodes do not have a fixed polarity like a battery.  

Explanation:

  • Consider taking an electrolytic cell including silver (Ag) electrodes and Silver nitrate (AgNO3) as the electrolyte.
  • When there is a connection to the battery, the end to which the negative terminal is connected is called a cathode, and the end to which the positive terminal is connected is called the anode.  
  • Silver (Ag-) ions are placed at the cathode and nitrate (NO3-) ions are deposited in the anode.
  • The electrodes’ polarities are also reversed when the electrolytic cell connection is reversed.
