cathode


Simply speaking, a cathode is the pole or terminal to which current flows in a direct current electrical circuit. In an electrical cell or battery (such as a flashlight battery), the cathode is recognized as the positive terminal. When a completed circuit exists (as when you turn on the flashlight), electrical current flows from the negative termin [..]
