When the area provided to the cathode is smaller than the anode the electrons will still flow.

Compare an anode and a cathode?
The Anode (+) is what you connect the positive voltage to The Cathode (-) is what you connect the negative voltage to.
What is a positive electrode?
A positive electrode is a cathode. A negative electrode is an anode.An anode is positively charged, while a cathode is negatively charged.
How many terminals does a diode have?
two, cathode & anode
Will electrons flow from anode to cathod?
"from anode to cathode". Normally, no. Taking a radio valve (electron tube), since the anode is positive compared to the cathode, and since electrons flow from surplus (at the negative cathode) to deficiency (at the positive anode), they do *not* flow from anode to cathode in normal operation. It's possible to have electrons striking the anode and *knocking off* electrons from it, and then to have those electrons travelling back towards the cathode. This is secondary emission. It was a problem in four-element "tetrode" valves in the early days, but has now been eliminated in practical designs. Long story short: it's possible, but undesirable and not common.
How is the formation of anode and cathode rays?
Goldstein used a gas discharge tube which had a perforated cathode. When a high electrical potential of several thousand volts is applied between the cathode and anode, faint luminous "rays" are seen extending from the holes in the back of the cathode. These rays are beams of particles moving in a direction opposite to the "cathode rays," which are streams of electronswhich move toward the anode. Goldstein called these positive rays Kanalstrahlen, "channel rays" or "canal rays", because they were produced by the holes or channels in the cathode
What is true of both galvanic and electrolytic?
reduction happens at the cathode Oxidation happens at the anode
How can you identify a cathode nigative to an LED?
LED has two pins,one is anode(positive) and the other is cathode(negative).The smaller pin is cathode(negative) and the longer pin is anode(positive).
What is true of both and electrolytic cells?
reduction happens at the cathode Oxidation happens at the anode
What happens to voltage as you move the anode and cathode closer in a fruit battery?
the voltage will go down when the anode and cathode are closer together but will go up when they are further apart
What is true of both galvanic and electrolytic cells?
*electrolytic cells Oxidation occurs at the cathode
What is cathode and anode?
cathode is electron negative but anode is positiveAnswerFor electrochemical cells, electrons travel through the external circuit from the anode to the cathode.
Is iron a anode or cathode?
it is an anode
The relationship between a cathode and an anode involves what?
The relationship between a cathode and an anode involves
On a silicon-controlled rectifier which wire is the anode and which the cathode?
Anode is positive, cathode is negative
What is the anode and cathode of Baghdad's battery?
the copper cylinder(cathode) and iron rod(anode)
That is function anode and cathode piping?
that is function of anode and cathode in underground piping yes
What is the negative electrode of a voltaic cell called?
This is the anode.
