Talk:Electrode
Anode and Cathode seem to me to be overly-specialized articles, I think all of this stuff should be merged into Electrode as subheaders. Any objections before I proceed? Bryan Derksen
I'm not sure, but the cathode article has a short notice about the ray tubes, so maybe there's more to tell (though it could be at cathode ray tube, of course). So I'd say these articles are not harming anybody, but: do what you think best. jheijmans
I may have moved too fast -- I saw Anode on the most wanted stubs list and proceeded in spinning it off the electrode article. The blurb on the cathode ray tube didn't seem appropriate for the unbiased electrode. -- Prefect
This page and cathode both describe themselves as fulfilling the same row in both kinds (electrolytic and galvanic) of cells, which is obviously wrong. On the other hand, I'm not sure which is which between the cells, so, anyone else know which should be which? -- JohnOwens 09:42 Mar 26, 2003 (UTC)
*cough* As it stands now, on the one page:
- "In an electrolytic cell the anode is positively charged",
- "In an electrolytic cell the cathode is positively charged";
- "in a galvanic cell the anode is negatively charged",
- "in a galvanic cell the cathode is negatively charged".
That didn't really help much, yet. -- JohnOwens 09:59 Mar 26, 2003 (UTC)
- Well, at least we have the self-contradiction all in one place, so we can fix it once and for all. The Anome 10:02 Mar 26, 2003 (UTC)
