What is charge on anode in an electrolytic cell?​

Reduction always occurs at the cathode, and oxidation always occurs at the anode. Since reduction is the addition of electrons, electrons must travel toward the site of reduction. In an electrolytic cell the negative charge is on the cathode, while the positive charge is on the anode.

Answer:

In a galvanic (voltaic) cell, the anode is considered negative and the cathode is considered positive. This seems reasonable as the anode is the source of electrons and cathode is where the electrons flow. However, in an electrolytic cell, the anode is taken to be positive while the cathode is now negative.

negative charge

Inside an electrolytic cell, although oxidation still takes place inside the anode and reduction still takes place within the cathode, the signs of the two half-cells are opposite of that inside regular voltaic cells. Inside a voltaic cell, the anode has a negative charge while the cathode has the positive charge.
