For Cathode we have terms and definitions in 10 topics. The topics are Batteries, Capacitors, Chemistry, Corrosion, Explosives, Financial, Import Cars, Natural Gas, Plumbing and Solar Energy.

Cathode (Batteries)

The electrode in an electrochemical cell where reduction takes place. During discharge, the positive electrode of the cell is the cathode. During charge in a rechargeable battery, the negative electrode is the cathode.

Cathode (Capacitors)

An electrode through which current leaves any nonmetallic conductor. An electrolytic cathode is an electrode at which positive ions are discharged, or negative ions are formed, or at which other reducing reactions occur. The negative electrode of a galvanic cell; of an electrolytic capacitor.

Cathode (Chemistry)

Electrode where electrons are gained (reduction) in redox reactions.

Cathode (Corrosion)

The electrode of an electrolytic cell at which reduction is the principal reaction. (Electrons How toward the cathode in the external circuit.) Typical cathodic processes are cation' taking up electrons and being discharged, oxygen being reduced. and the reduction of an element or group of elements from a high Cl a lower valence state. Contrast with anode.

Cathode (Explosives)

The negative pole of a direct current device. Opposite Anode. (adj.: cathodic).

Cathode (Financial)

Refers to copper which is in flat bar form and is exchange tradeable. Refers to copper which is in flat bar form and is exchange tradeable.

Cathode (Import Cars)

[1] The negatively charged cell from which current flows in an electrolytic cell. [2] The negative electrode of a semiconductor diode [3] The portion of a fuel cell where Oxygen "reduction" occurs.

Cathode (Natural Gas)

Negative electrode in an electrolytic system. See ANODE.

Cathode (Plumbing)

A negatively charged electrode.

Cathode (Solar Energy)

The negative pole or electrode of an electrolytic cell, vacuum tube, etc., where electrons enter (current leaves) the system; the opposite of an anode.
