Definitions for "NEGATIVE ELECTRODE"
A terminal or electrode having more electrons than normal. Electrons flow out of the negative terminal of a voltage source.
The electrode in an electrochemical cell that carries a negative charge. In an electrolytic cell, it is the cathode. In a voltaic cell, it is the anode.
The plate which has an electrical potential lower than that of the other plate during normal cell operation. Electric current from the external circuit flows into the cell at the electrode during discharge. Also called the minus electrode.
