An electrode is an electric conductor, usually metals. A Cu electrode means copper electrode.
In a voltaic Zn-Cu cell, or battery, (a spontaneous reaction, so the voltage is always positive) it consists of two electrodes in which each of them is immersed in their designated electrolytic solution. When the spontaneous reaction occurs, electrons get attracted to the cathode and make it negatively charged. Meanwhile, electrons get farther from the anode, making it positively charged.
cathode=positive
anode=negative
how do you identify which is anode/cathode?
Zn2+ + 2e- --> Zn(s) // V=-0.76
Cu2+ + 2e- --> Cu(s) // V=+0.34
A cathode is the electrode with which the reduction, or gaining of electrons, takes place. Whichever has the higher potential to gain electrons will serve as a cathode. The more positively charged an atom is, then the more it is likely to attract electrons.
In this case, the cathode is the copper.
Anode is the opposite of cathode.

Why does hydrogen gas liberate at Cu electrode in Zn-Cu cell?
In a zinc-copper cell, zinc gives up electrons, forming the negative terminal of the cell, and the electrons flows as electric current through wires. When the electrons reach the other positive terminal, electrolysis of the electrolyte takes place at the positive terminal. Hydrogen ions and the cation of the electrolyte will be attracted to the positive Copper electrode. The hydrogen ions, being less reactive than the cation ions, will take up the electrons on the copper electrode, forming hydrogen gas.

Difference between reference electrode and indicator electrode?
Often electrochemical studies are interested in one of the electrodes of the cell only. The second electrode is present to complete the cell. Electrode of interest is named working electrode or the indicator electrode; the second electrode is know as reference electrode or auxiliary electrode (counter electrode).

What is a sentence with electrode?
The electrode was placed in the Chemistry lab. This is the sentence that uses the word electrode.
What is the meaning consumable welding?
Consumable electrode welding contain the processes where the electrode acts as the filler material and the electrode that generates the arc. Because the electrode is also the filler material, the electrode 'burns' or is consumed, hence consumable electrode.
Name of one electrode and say is positive or negative?
The Cathode is the negative electrode; the anode is the positive electrode
