â¢ Electrolyte is basically a medium for the current flow. Electrode is the connection between the conducting part of the circuit and non-metallic part of the circuit. â¢ The voltage generated from an electrochemical cell depends on the two metals used and the concentration of the electrolyte ions.
What Is an Electrode? An electrode conducts electricity in an electric circuit. It can come in the form of a plate, rod or wire and is made of metals like copper, lead, zinc or silver. Some electrodes, though are made of non-metallic substances like carbon. Electrodes used in electrochemical cells are either anodes or cathodes, depending on the electrical charge. The anode is the positive electrode, and it is through this that the electrical current passes out of the cell and triggers oxidation.
