An electrode is an electrical conductor used to make contact with a nonmetallic part of a circuit (e.g. a semiconductor, an electrolyte, a vacuum or air).

A battery, which is actually an electric cell, is a device that produces electricity from a chemical reaction.Strictly speaking, a battery consists of two or more cells connected in series or parallel, but the term is generally used for a single cell.A cell consists of a negative electrode; an electrolyte, which conducts ions; a separator, also an ion conductor; and a positive electrode.hen the cell is connected to an external load, or device to be powered, the negative electrode supplies a current of electrons that flow through the load and are accepted by the positive electrode. When the external load is removed the reaction ceases.
