Anode: Sacrificial anode, Charge flow & Etymology

An anode usually is an electrode of a polarized electrical device through which conventional current enters the device. This contrasts with a cathode, which is usually an electrode of the device through which conventional current leaves the device. A common mnemonic is ACID, for Anode Current Into Device. The direction of conventional current (the flow…
