What is the charge of a cathode and how do you remember it?

The cathode is negatively charged. A good way to remember this is thinking of what it's doing. A cathode attracts cations which are positively charged. In order to attract a positive charge, the charge on the electrode must be oppositely charged. So it has to carry a negative charge. The opposite is true for the anode. Since it attracts anions which are negatively charged, the electrode must carry a positive charge.
