It is called the positive + terminal or post, just like you list. Electrons flow for the negative - to the + terminal contrary to popular belief.
Another Answer
As electrons flow through the external circuit from anode (negative terminal) to the cathode (positive terminal) , then the answer is 'cathode'.

The terminals of a diode are called the?
anode positive potential cathode negative potential
What is the source of diode in reverse biased condition?
The anod terminal of diode is connected with negative and cathod is connected to positive
Why is a diode called unidirectional?
A diode is unidirectional because of the diode only conduct in forwardbias .As you know the diode have two terminal cathode and anode . and when the positive terminal of battery connected to the p-side and other terminal connected to the other terminal of diode then diode is called forward biased . and when it connection is just opposite then it become in reverse biased . so we can finally say that the diode is unidirectional
What is the composition of typical diode?
The typical diode consist of terminals. Terminal A is anode negative, Terminal B is cathode bearing positive energy. An epoxy dome secures lead frame.
Describe forward-biased diode?
A specific amount of current is allowed to flow through a diode. If the current passing through the diode exceeds this specific value, the diode gets heated and is likely to be damaged. Therefore, in the biasing circuit of a resistance which limits the current passing through the diode within its specific value is called Forward biased diode. ANSWER: A forward bias diode is just a diode that it is conducting in the forward direction. Positive to anode and negative to cathode
What does forward bias on a diode?
when the positive terminal of the battery is connected to the positive terminal of the diode it is said to be in forward bias
What does forward bias on a diode means?
when the positive terminal of the battery is connected to the positive terminal of the diode it is said to be in forward bias

How does an LED light not light up when a positive wire is on a negative terminal and negative wire on positive terminal?
Because LED means light-emitting diode and the clue is in the diode, because diodes are 'polarised', which means that the current must flow in the correct direction for them to operate correctly.
What is the difference between anode led and cathode led?
A: A LED is a diode and like all diode they have an [anode] meaning positive terminal and a [cathode] negative terminal. Therefore the proper potential must be applied for it to behave like an LED.
Why diode is called diode?
diode:= di+ iode di means two,and iode means terminal,,,, diode is two terminal device i.e anode and cathode
How do you find the forward voltage of a diode?
A Transistor can be biassed in two ways Forward bias and Reverse bias A transistor is said to be forward bias if the positive of the transistor is connected to the positive terminal of the battery and negative to the negative terminal of the battery.A Transistor in the converse condition is known as reverse biassed
How do you use scr as a diode?
scr is basically a three terminal device can be used as diode by leaving one terminal
