What is single electrode potential?

Answer 1

An electrode potential is the potential difference that develops when an electrode of one element is placed in a solution containing its ions. In a galvanic cell, electricity is produced by the electrode potential of the two metal electrodes and their corresponding electrolytes.

Answer 2

Electrical potential difference is the change in electrical potential energy per unit charge. For example suppose you move 10 Coulombs of charge from point A to point B and its potential energy increases by 500 Joules (because of other nearby charges). Now it is convienent to divide that potential energy change by the amount of charge that was moved 500/10 = 50 Joules/Coulomb. This is called the potential difference between A & B , or voltage across AB. This is a bit abstract but potential difference gives you a measure of potential energy possibilities without specifying any particular amount of charge. Once you have the potential difference, or voltage, you can calculate how much potential energy any amount of charge would have acquired simply by multiplying that charge times the potential difference. So in the above example the voltage across AB is 50 volts. How much potential energy would 40 Coulombs of charge aquire if moved from A to B. Answer; charge x voltage = 40 x 50 = 2000 joules. Once again, the usefullness of potential difference, or voltage, is that it gives you a "measure" of the potential energy that charges might gain (or lose) without actually calculating the potential energy for a specific amount of charge.

Answer 3

Single electrode potential is the potential difference between a single electrode and its surrounding electrolyte solution in an electrochemical cell. It represents the tendency of the electrode to gain or lose electrons and is a measure of the electrode's reactivity in the cell. It is typically measured relative to a reference electrode, such as the standard hydrogen electrode.

Answer 4

The work to be done to bring a unit positive electric charge from infinity to the given in an electric field is known as the electric potential at that point.

Answer 5

the electric potential at a point in an electric field is defined as the work done in moving a unit of positive charge from infinity to that point,

Answer 6

It is the electrode potential when it is single

Answer 8

An electrode is an electrical conductor used to make contact with a nonmetallic part of a circuit.
