What does ANODE mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
In a battery, electrolytic cell, or similar device, the electrode through which electric current enters from the external circuit.
Whether an anode counts as the positive or the negative terminal actually depends on the type of device involved, which is why engineers define it by the direction of current rather than by a fixed electrical sign. In a battery that is discharging, current enters through the terminal marked negative, so that terminal is the anode, while in an electrolytic cell being charged the anode is the positive terminal instead. The opposite electrode, through which current leaves the device, is called the cathode, and the two terms form one of the basic vocabulary pairs of electrochemistry. Vacuum tubes and neon signs use the same terminology, with electrons drawn toward the anode inside the sealed tube.
How ANODE is used
A technical term from electrochemistry and electronics, almost always paired with its opposite, cathode.
