In electrochemical cells, the metal that acts as the negative terminal is typically the anode. In galvanic cells, this metal undergoes oxidation, releasing electrons that flow towards the cathode, which is the positive terminal. Common examples of metals used as anodes include zinc in a zinc-copper cell. However, the specific metal can vary depending on the type of cell and its materials.

Is a zinc anode acts the terminal?
No. It seems Zinc would always act as the negative terminal. Anode and Cathode are the terms used when we connect an external electrical source to the device. If positive terminal of an external battery is connected to the electrode then that electrode is named as ANODE. If negative terminal is connected then it is named as CATHODE. In case of chargable device, while discharging say P acts as negative terminal. Then while charging this negative terminal would be the anode. So if the device is a chargable one and Zn acts as negative terminal while delivering current to the external load, then the same zn would acts as anode while charging.
What happens when a positive terminal touches metal but the negative is ungrounded?
Nothing
Where is negative battery terminal on a citroen?
The negative battery terminal is on the battery. They don't have a wire coming from it like they do the positive. For charging purposes, the engine block acts as the battery ground. When disconnecting the negative at the battery, the negative terminal usually has a black wire and the positive has a red.
Why does the graphite rod act as a positive terminal where as the zinc casing a negative terminal?
The graphite rod acts as the positive terminal because it is the cathode where reduction reactions occur, while the zinc casing acts as the negative terminal because it is the anode where oxidation reactions occur. This is due to their differences in electrode potential and their roles in the electrochemical reaction process.
What does the negative terminal of a battery have?
The negative terminal of a battery has a - sign and positive terminal has a + sign.
Where is the negative battery terminal to jump start a Oldsmobile silhouette?
I think the negative terminal is under the fuse box to the left; you can barely get to it. However to jump from or to the Silhouette, you don't need the negative terminal. To jump the Silhouette, just attach the negative cable to metal, preferably of the engine block. To jump from the Silhouette, attach the negative cable to the large bolt about 10 inches to the right of the battery.
What is an anode made from?
Anode is the negative terminal of a battery. It is made of Tungsten which is the same metal used in the filaments of bulbs.
Infiniti j30 ground?
If your talking about the main ground wire from the battery, its located on the metal wall right to the left of the negative terminal. Just follow the wire that comes off the negative terminal back six inches to a foot and you can see where the ground wire splits off and bolts to the metal.
How do you know positive and negative terminals?
Look for a + by the positive terminal and a - by the negative terminal, or red for positive, black for negative. Some batteries have the positive terminal protruding and the negative terminal flat. Or you can get a meter that will tell you which is which,
Do electrons flow from the positive to the negative terminal of a wet cell?
Electrons have a negative charge. For that reason, electrons will always flow in the opposite direction of the current, which flows from positive to negative. Electrons will therefore move from a negative terminal to a positive terminal when we look at the load on a cell. Within the cell, the electrons will flow from the positive terminal to the negative terminal.
Where does the negative battery terminal go on the starter of a 1986 Monte Carlo?
The negative terminal does not go to the starter on a negative ground system. The negative terminal goes to ground.
What do you call the electrode connected to negative terminal of a cell?
The electrode connected to the negative terminal of a cell is called the cathode.
