I wouldn't wnat to ask you the time Marshall, you may tell me how to build a watch.For what us (most) listers do to make CS,,,Is the Anode Positive ? I can figure out the cathode if you tell me who is the doner. Then I can move on.Tel TofflemireDewey AZ Yeh, I said that the negative electrode is the cathode, so that would mean the positive is the anode. Odd you say you can figure out what the cathode is if I say what the anode is, but you are unable to figure out what the anode is from the cathode.

Then he is defining current as the conventional, or opposite of the electroncurrent. In that case the the ecurrent flows into the positive electrode of theCS cell so it is the anode, and the negative electrode is the cathode. I did not realize the definitions switched on a battery depending on if it ischarging or discharging. Learn something new every day.
