Hello!!
Anode vs Cathode
Anode and cathode are two terms that are often used interchangeably with positive and negative in batteries.
Most of the time there is no problem with it as the definition would often match the practice. However, there are certain scenarios where this is not true.
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.
The reversal is also very noticeable when you are dealing with components like diodes and capacitors since these components absorb electricity unlike batteries.
The anode of capacitors and diodes is the side that you connect to the positive terminal since that’s where the electricity enters, and the negative terminal is the cathode because that is where the electricity leaves.

Cathode: the negative charged electrode by which electrons enter an electrical device.
Anode : the positively charged electrode by which electrons leave an electrical device.
Uses of electrolysis :
1) in industries the method is used for the production of chlorine and sodium hydroxide.
2)Used in the production of metals Like aluminium ,magnesium etc.
Hope my answer is useful to you.
