Question

If the cell potential is negative, which electrode is connected to the anode?.

Answer 1

Answer: Heyo Kenji Here! Here's your answer- In addition, since the external battery source is what drives the electrons through the circuit, the electrodes will match the positive and negative terminal of the battery. While the anode remains the site of oxidation, it becomes the positive terminal, and the cathode becomes the negative terminal.

Explanation: Hope this helps!

Have a nice day!

Answer 2

Answer: In a galvanic (voltaic) cell, the anode is considered negative and the cathode is considered positive. This seems reasonable as the anode is the source of electrons and cathode is where the electrons flow. However, in an electrolytic cell, the anode is taken to be positive while the cathode is now negative.
