In the cell, an oxidation reaction occurs at Anode.

  • An anode is an electrode from which a polarized electrical system reaches the traditional current.
  • The anode in a galvanic cell is the electrode at which the oxidation reaction takes place.
  • This is in contrast to a cathode, an electrode that leaves an electrical device by the conventional current.
  • The anode is the negative electrode from which the electrons flow out to the outside of the circuit.
