That's a purely arbitrary convention that goes back to the first experiments with electricity (see Ben Franklin).

Why are carbon anodes replaced regularly?
I doubt this is useful since this was posted 4 years ago, but carbon anodes have to be replaced in commercial use because they react with the oxygen that is reacts with (or so i think), and therefore the co2 that comes from the carbon and metal oxide in the displacement reaction makes the carbon anodes turn into co2 and therefore these anodes need to be replaced
What are anodes made of?
It is made out of magnesium or aluminum that form around a steel core wire.
Can aluminum anodes and zinc anodes be mixed inside a water ballast tank?
Aluminum and zinc are close enough not to cause too much trouble. In highly electrolytic solutions there will be a voltage potential between them. Different metals should be avoided if at all possible when in contact with water or solutions.
What are anodes?
negative electrode
Why antimony is used in chromium plating?
Electroplating served a number of functions, such as protecting from corrosion and wear, decoration, and electrical shielding.
How do Impressed Current anodes work?
i dont know use rectifier just invert ac to dc and supplied to anodes positive to steel negative
Do anodes have a positive electricity charge?
The "anode" is usually considered to be "negative". However in some experiments such as Gel Electrophoresis the anode is positive.
Why is the direction of diodes in alternator diode trio is opposite to the direction of diodes in the rectifier bridge?
A three phase alternator will have six diodes in the rectifier bridge, three with their anodes connected to the phases, and cathodes commoned to the positive terminal, and three with the cathodes connected to the phases, and anodes commoned to the negative terminal, which is likely the housing of the alternator. The trio diodes arrangement will match the positive rectifiers, i.e. anodes to the phase connections, cathodes (denoted usually by a stripe around the body on small diodes), connected to the D+ terminal
Osaned can spell what word?
Anodes
What is the scientific word for positive and negative charges?
positive and negative charges.... there is no other term... unless you want to get technical and describe what is happening in the metals Protons are positive Electrons are negative BTW neutrons are neutral OR You could also be talking about what ^ is talking about those >I think< are called cathodes and anodes
What is the use of zinc anodes in pier jetty columns?
Zinc anodes offer a sacrificial method of maintaining the steelwork of the pier.. The anodes 'attract' corrosion thereby extending the life and protecting the steel work. (same as on ships hulls etc)

When do the anodes and cathodes affect the voltage of a battery?
The anodes and cathodes affect the voltage of the battery all the time. Without them, the battery would not work. The anode provides the positive charge or current. The cathode provides the negative charge or electrons. Part of the anode is down in the battery and part serves as a terminal. Part of the cathode is down in the battery and part serves a a terminal.
What must the voltage be at the anodes for effective electrofishing?
diode
Circuit diagram of half-wave rectifier?
It consists of four diode or rectifiers units with all cathodes (or arrows- schematically) pointing to the positive end DC ouput. All anodes point to the negative DC end and the AC voltage is applied to the remaining two junctions of diodes where cathodes meet anodes.
What are dog anodes?
i searched it up and didn't find anything, sorry i couldn't help
