Explanation:
Electrode potential varies rapidly with temperature and concentrations of the species involved. Hence, to define one particular reference for electrode potentials, standard set of conditions have been defined. If potential is measured under these conditions, it is known as 'Standard Potential'.
The Nernst Equation enables the determination of cell potential under non-standard conditions. It relates the measured cell potential to the reaction quotient and allows the accurate determination of equilibrium constants (including solubility constants).
Nernst equation is given as:

The equation above indicates that the electrical potential of a electrode depends upon the reaction quotient Q of the reaction.
So if we are trying to determine reduction potential of Cu electrode, we will have to consider Cu

We can then Nernst Equation as:

This way we can determine the E
