Electrodes are conductors through which current enters and leaves the electrolyte. We have two types of electrodes – Anode and Cathode.
ANODE
It is the positive electrode through which conventional current enters and leaves the electrolytic cells.
CATHODE
It is the negative electrode through which conventional current leaves and enters the electrolytic cell.
Electrolytic cell
It is an arrangement of two electrodes immersed inside an electrolyte.
