What is an electrobe that has a positive charge?

Assuming this is a misspelling of "electrode" ... Electrochemistry can be confusing, because the answer depends on the type of device! In a galvanic cell (or discharging battery), the positively charged electrode is the cathode. However, in an electrolytic cell (or recharging battery), the positively charged electrode is the anode. The easiest way to keep this straight is to remember that the cathode is the one the cations (positively charged ions) migrate towards, and the anode is the one the anions (negatively charged ions) migrate towards.
