  2. Cathode - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cathode

    A cathode is the electrode from which a conventional current leaves a polarized electrical device such as a lead-acid battery. This definition can be recalled by using the mnemonic CCD for Cathode Current Departs. A conventional current describes the direction in which positive charges move. Electrons have a negative electrical charge, so the ...

  3. Anode - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anode

    Positive and negative electrode vs. anode and cathode for a secondary battery. Battery manufacturers may regard the negative electrode as the anode, [9] particularly in their technical literature. Though from an electrochemical viewpoint incorrect, it does resolve the problem of which electrode is the anode in a secondary (or rechargeable) cell.

  4. Electrode - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrode

    An electrode is an electrical conductor used to make contact with a nonmetallic part of a circuit (e.g. a semiconductor, an electrolyte, a vacuum or air). Electrodes are essential parts of batteries that can consist of a variety of materials (chemicals) depending on the type of battery.

  5. Cathode ray - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cathode_ray

    Cathode ray. A beam of cathode rays in a vacuum tube bent into a circle by a magnetic field generated by a Helmholtz coil. Cathode rays are normally invisible; in this demonstration Teltron tube, enough gas has been left in the tube for the gas atoms to luminesce when struck by the fast-moving electrons. Cathode rays or electron beams (e-beam ...

  6. Galvanic cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galvanic_cell

    The cathode is the electrode where reduction (gain of electrons) takes place (metal B electrode); in a galvanic cell, it is the positive electrode, as ions get reduced by taking up electrons from the electrode and plate out (while in electrolysis, the cathode is the negative terminal and attracts positive ions from the solution).

  7. Cathodic protection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cathodic_protection

    Cathodic protection (CP; / kæˈθɒdɪk / ⓘ) is a technique used to control the corrosion of a metal surface by making it the cathode of an electrochemical cell. [1] A simple method of protection connects the metal to be protected to a more easily corroded "sacrificial metal" to act as the anode. The sacrificial metal then corrodes instead ...

  8. Lithium-ion battery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithium-ion_battery

    The negative electrode (which is the anode when the cell is discharging) and the positive electrode (which is the cathode when discharging) are prevented from shorting by a separator. [51] The electrodes are connected to the powered circuit through two pieces of metal called current collectors.

  9. Electric battery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_battery

    An electric battery is a source of electric power consisting of one or more electrochemical cells with external connections [1] for powering electrical devices. When a battery is supplying power, its positive terminal is the cathode and its negative terminal is the anode. [2] The terminal marked negative is the source of electrons.
