  1. it insulates the electrode preventing formation of the arc except at the tips
  2. it melts and acts as a protective flux over the joint, preventing oxidation

Coated electrodes


When the lead acid battery produces electricity both electrodes become coated with solid what?

When a lead acid battery produces electricity, both electrodes become coated with lead sulfate. This is a result of the chemical reaction that occurs during the discharge process. Recharging the battery converts the lead sulfate back into lead dioxide and metallic lead.

What is the parts of fluorescent lamp and there functions?

A fluorescent lamp consists of a glass tube filled with mercury vapor and coated with phosphor. The tube is connected to electrodes at each end. When electricity is applied, the electrodes produce an arc, which excites the mercury vapor to produce ultraviolet light. The phosphor coating then converts the ultraviolet light into visible light.


What are depth electrodes?

What is Pt electrodes?

Pt electrodes refer to electrodes that are made of platinum. These electrodes are commonly used in various electrochemical applications due to platinum's inert nature, high conductivity, and stability in corrosive environments. Pt electrodes are versatile and can be used in different setups such as in fuel cells, sensors, and electrophysiology experiments.


What the electrodes in the cochlear implant replace?

Electrodes placed inside the cochlear receive the decoded signals. The 22 electrodes allow a range of different pitches to be detected. The electrodes stimulate the hearing receptors.


Type of electrodes used to electrically stimulate the brain?

Common types of electrodes used for electrical brain stimulation include intracranial electrodes (such as depth electrodes or grids), subdural electrodes, and transcranial electrodes. These electrodes are used in techniques like deep brain stimulation (DBS), electrocorticography (ECoG), and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) to modify neural activity for therapeutic or research purposes.
