Why anodes are positive?

Anodes are positive because they attract negatively charged ions towards them in a galvanic cell or electrolytic cell. By attracting these negative ions, the anode facilitates the flow of electrons from the anode to the cathode, allowing for the generation of electrical current.

When do the anodes and cathodes affect the voltage of a battery?

The anodes and cathodes affect the voltage of the battery all the time. Without them, the battery would not work. The anode provides the positive charge or current. The cathode provides the negative charge or electrons. Part of the anode is down in the battery and part serves as a terminal. Part of the cathode is down in the battery and part serves a a terminal.
