In a galvanic cell, electrons will move in to the anode. Since electrons carry a negative charge, then the anode is negatively charged. Same thing with the cathode. It’s because the protons are attracted to the cathode, so it’s mainly positive, and therefore is positively charged. In which cell cathodeRead More →

It is well known that when the cathode rays traverse a magnetic field they are deflected from their otherwise rectilineal path, and in the form of tube ordinarily employed this deflection increases with an increase in the pressure of the residual gas in the tube. Why are cathode rays deflectedRead More →
