anode (ăn`ōd), electrode electrode, terminal through which electric current passes between metallic and nonmetallic parts of an electric circuit. In most familiar circuits current is carried by metallic conductors, but in some circuits the current passes for some distance through a .....

In a battery or other source of direct current, the anode is the negative terminal. In a passive load it is the positive terminal. In an electron tube, electrons from the cathode travel across the tube toward the anode; in an electroplating cell, negative ions are deposited at the anode. anodeThe terminal on a device that receives current. It may be considered positive or negative depending on the application. See cathode. anode 1. the positive electrode in an electrolytic cell 2. the positively charged electrode in an electronic valve 3. the negative terminal of a primary cell How to thank TFD for its existence?

A point-to-point effect is created on a microscopic level, and electrons flow from the cathodic roller through the hole or anomaly in the thin film material to the anodic tip of the corona beam gun without increasing the applied voltage. Chelmsford, MA, USA) determined BPb in duplicate analysis by anodic stripping voltammetry. In general, the farther apart the two metals are on the scale, the more likely the anodic metal will be damaged. |
