Aluminium and Zinc Anode

Aluminium and Zinc Anode An anode is an electrode through which the conventional current enters into a polarized electrical  device. This contrasts with a cathode, an electrode through which conventional current leaves an electrical device. A common mnemonic is ACID for “anode current into device” [1] The direction of conventional current (the flow of positive charges) in a circuit is opposite to the direction of electron flow, so (negatively charged) electrons flow out the anode into the outside circuit. In a galvanic cell, the anode is the electrode at which the oxidation reactionoccurs.
