Answer:
The anode of a device is the terminal where current flows in from outside. The cathode of a device is the terminal where current flows out. ... Since electrons are negatively charged, positive current flowing in is the same as electrons flowing out.
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.
