A conducting part that is contained in an electrochemical cell to create a potential difference with the electrolyte and provide the electrical connection between the electrolyte and an external circuit.
Note 1: The two different electrodes in a cell provide the e.m.f. of the cell across them.
Note 2: The terms anode and cathode refer respectively to the positive and negative electrodes.
Please note that this is the term as it stands in the original IALA Dictionary edition (1970-1989)
