Cold cathode is a cathode, an electrode that emits electrons, which is not electrically heated by an element. Cold cathodes are used in gas discharge lamps such as neon lamps and discharge tubes.

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.


Is Standard Calomel Electrode can act as cathode?

Yes, the Standard Calomel Electrode (SCE) can act as a cathode in certain electrochemical cells. When connected to a suitable anode in a galvanic cell or connected to a positive terminal in an electrolytic cell, the SCE can gain electrons and undergo reduction at its surface.

What is an electrobe that has a positive charge?

Assuming this is a misspelling of "electrode" ... Electrochemistry can be confusing, because the answer depends on the type of device! In a galvanic cell (or discharging battery), the positively charged electrode is the cathode. However, in an electrolytic cell (or recharging battery), the positively charged electrode is the anode. The easiest way to keep this straight is to remember that the cathode is the one the cations (positively charged ions) migrate towards, and the anode is the one the anions (negatively charged ions) migrate towards.
