noun🔗ShareCátodoAn 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. "Los electrones fluyeron hacia el cátodo de la batería mientras se cargaba.electronicsphysicstechnologydeviceelectricmachinescienceChat with AIVocabulary GamePractice Reading
noun🔗ShareCátodo(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. "Durante la electrólisis, los iones de cobre en la solución se mueven hacia el cátodo, donde ganan electrones y forman un revestimiento de cobre sólido.chemistryelectronicsphysicsmaterialscienceelementChat with AIVocabulary GamePractice Reading
noun🔗ShareCátodoThe 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. "En los televisores antiguos, el cátodo dentro del tubo de imagen disparaba electrones a la pantalla para crear la imagen.electronicsdevicetechnicalphysicsmachineenergyscienceChat with AIVocabulary GamePractice Reading
noun🔗ShareCátodoThat 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. "En el circuito LED que construimos en clase, el cátodo, conectado al semiconductor de tipo n, estaba marcado con un terminal más corto.electronicsdevicetechnologymaterialphysicsscienceChat with AIVocabulary GamePractice Reading
