Anode and Cathode

Anodes and cathodes are the endpoints or terminals of a device that produces electrical current.
Electrical current runs from the positively charged terminal to the
negatively charged terminal.
The cathode is the terminal that attracts cations, or positive ions. To attract the cations, the
terminal must be negatively charged.
Electrical current is the amount of charge that passes a fixed point per unit time.The direction of the current flow is the direction a positive charge would go.
Electrons are negative, and will move in the opposite direction of current.
