The force between charges is repulsive between charges with the same sign,

and attractive between charges with opposite signs.

The cathode is charged negative, and the anode is charged positive.

Electrons have a negative charge. So any electron in the neighborhood of a pair

of charged electrodes will be repelled by the cathode and attracted to the anode.

Cations are attracted to cathod or anode?

DNA is neither cathode or anode, but it is negatively charged, so the DNA molecules will rn from anode to cathode


Why electrons move from anode to cathode?

The words are all arbitrary - - - BUT electrons have a "negative" charge and are attracted to a positive voltage. (Opposites attract.)


Are cations attracted to the anode?

Cations are attracted to the cathode, not the anode. The anode attracts anions. This is because cations are positively charged ions, which are attracted to the negative electrode (cathode) in an electrolytic cell.


What is the nature of charge on cathod rays?

Cathode rays are negatively charged particles, which are typically electrons. These electrons are emitted from the cathode in a vacuum tube and are attracted to the positively charged anode.


In which direction do electrons flow from the anode to the cathode in an electrical circuit?

Electrons flow from the anode to the cathode in an electrical circuit.


What is cathode and anode?

cathode is electron negative but anode is positiveAnswerFor electrochemical cells, electrons travel through the external circuit from the anode to the cathode.


In a simple cell the cathode or the anode is more reactive?

In a simple cell, the anode is typically more reactive than the cathode. The anode undergoes oxidation, releasing electrons, while the cathode undergoes reduction, accepting those electrons. This difference in reactivity drives the flow of electrons from the anode to the cathode, generating electrical energy.


Which anode in electrolysis?

the anode (positive electrode) is the object that is going to be anodized. The cathode normally used is carbon rod that is inert.


What are the uses of Cathode Rays and Anode Rays?

cathode rays can emit electrons anode can collect them


Why flow of current from cathode to anode still the flow of electrons is from cathode to anode?

The direction of current, according to convention, is the direction opposite the direction of electron flow. Remember that the anode is where oxidation occurs, so electrons are lost by the anode. These electrons then move from the anode, to the cathode by a wire that usually connects the two compartments. To reiterate, the electrons flow from the anode (site of oxidation) to the cathode (site of reduction). Because electrons flow from anode to cathode, by convention the direction of current is from cathode to anode (the direction opposite the flow of electrons). Hope this helps!

What is the relationship between the cathode and anode in an electrochemical cell?

In an electrochemical cell, the cathode is where reduction occurs, while the anode is where oxidation occurs. The cathode and anode are connected by an external circuit, allowing for the flow of electrons from the anode to the cathode. This flow of electrons generates an electric current in the cell.
