Anode is an English word with synonyms like cathode or electrode. Below you'll find 10+ example sentences showing how it's used in practice.
Anode meaning
- An electrode, of a cell or other electrically polarized device, through which a positive current of electricity flows inwards (and thus, electrons flow outwards). It can have either a positive or a negative voltage with respect to cathode of the same polarized device (depending on whether the device is a load or a source, respectively).
- (by extension) The electrode at which chemical oxidation of anions takes place, usually resulting in the erosion of metal from the electrode.
- The electrode which collects electrons emitted by the cathode in a vacuum tube or gas-filled tube.

Corpus analysis for Anode
- In this selection, "anode" usually appears in the middle of the sentence. The average example has 31 words, and this corpus slice is mostly made up of statements.
- Around the word, silicon, plate, fixed, cathode, end and wire stand out and add context to how "anode" is used.
- Recognizable usage signals include 10 silicon anode supplier in and a fixed anode and cathode. That gives this page its own corpus information beyond isolated example sentences.
- By corpus frequency, "anode" sits close to words such as aleksandr, anecdotes and annum, which helps place it inside the broader word index.

This grid was held at the cathode (or "ground") voltage and its negative voltage (relative to the anode) electrostatically repelled secondary electrons so that they would be collected by the anode after all.
This occurs because a few of the electrons, instead of reaching the anode, continue to circle in the space between the cathode and the anode.
