Question

Five points what is a difference between cathode and anode?

Answer 1

The anode, by definition, is the electrode where electricity flows into. In contrast, the cathode is the electrode where the electricity flows out of. If we look at a batteryconnected to a load, like a bulb for example, the electricity flows from the positive terminal to the negtive terminal. In this case, the positive terminal is the cathode, and the negative terminal is the anode. But when the battery is being charged, the electricity flows into the positive terminal instead of out of it. In this case, the roles are reversed, and the positive terminal becomes the anode and the negative terminal is 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.

4.They can penetrate thin metal foils.
