noun🔗ShareKathodeAn electrode, of a cell or other electrically polarized device, through which a positive current of electricity flows outwards (and thus, electrons flow inwards). It usually, but not always, has a positive voltage."Electrons flowed into the cathode of the battery as it charged. "Elektronen flossen in die Kathode der Batterie, als sie geladen wurde.electronicsphysicstechnologydeviceelectricmachinescienceChat with AIVocabulary GamePractice Reading
noun🔗ShareKathode(by extension) The electrode at which chemical reduction of cations takes place, usually resulting in the deposition of metal onto the electrode."During electrolysis, copper ions in the solution move to the cathode, where they gain electrons and form a solid copper coating. "Während der Elektrolyse wandern Kupferionen in der Lösung zur Kathode, wo sie Elektronen aufnehmen und eine feste Kupferbeschichtung bilden.chemistryelectronicsphysicsmaterialscienceelementChat with AIVocabulary GamePractice Reading
noun🔗ShareKathodeThe electrode from which electrons are emitted into a vacuum tube or gas-filled tube."In older televisions, the cathode inside the picture tube shot electrons onto the screen to create the picture. "In älteren Fernsehgeräten schoss die Kathode im Inneren der Bildröhre Elektronen auf den Bildschirm, um das Bild zu erzeugen.electronicsdevicetechnicalphysicsmachineenergyscienceChat with AIVocabulary GamePractice Reading
noun🔗ShareKathodeThat electrode of a semiconductor device which is connected to the n-type material of a p-n junction."In the LED circuit we built in class, the cathode, connected to the n-type semiconductor, was marked with a shorter lead. "In der LED-Schaltung, die wir im Unterricht gebaut haben, war die Kathode, die mit dem n-Typ-Halbleiter verbunden war, mit einem kürzeren Anschluss gekennzeichnet.electronicsdevicetechnologymaterialphysicsscienceChat with AIVocabulary GamePractice Reading
