Electrode

Examples

• The hydrogen formed by the chemical action of the dilute sulphuric acid on the zinc moves toward the copper electrode, as in the simple voltaic cell. Bertha M. Clark. General Science.

• He was the first to use the terms, electricity, electric and electrode, which he derived from the word _elektron_, the Greek name for amber. William Henry Doolittle. Inventions in the Century.
• One day we went down to the round-house of the Cincinnati & Indianapolis Railroad and connected up the long wash-tank in the room with the coil, one electrode being connected to earth. Frank Lewis Dyer. Edison, His Life and Inventions.
• I had recourse again, says Edison, to the phenomenon discovered by me years previous, that the friction of a rubbing electrode passing over a moist chalk surface was varied by electricity. Frank Lewis Dyer. Edison, His Life and Inventions.
• As a rule, each electrode has attached to it a binding post to which wires can be quickly fastened. Bertha M. Clark. General Science.
• A current is said to be one ampere strong if it will deposit silver on an electrode at the rate of 0. Bertha M. Clark. General Science.
• In order to overcome this, the positive electrode should be made of the same metal as that which is to be deposited. Bertha M. Clark. General Science.
• The advance in the art was due to the carbon electrode of Edison. Frank Lewis Dyer. Edison, His Life and Inventions.
• A large, irregular copper electrode is placed in the bottom of a jar (Fig. 198), and completely covered with a saturated solution of copper sulphate. Bertha M. Clark. General Science.
• So long as the current flows and there is any metal present in the solution, the coating continues to form on the negative electrode, and becomes thicker and thicker. Bertha M. Clark. General Science.
• Similar rods support the opposite electrodes of the tank. Edward W. Byrn. The Progress of Invention in the Nineteenth Century.
• With Edison's telephone there is used a closed circuit on which a battery current constantly flows, and in that circuit is a pair of electrodes, one or both of which is carbon. Frank Lewis Dyer. Edison, His Life and Inventions.
• Edison was the first to make apparatus in which carbon was used as one of the electrodes. Frank Lewis Dyer. Edison, His Life and Inventions.
• With Edison's telephone a closed circuit is used on which is constantly flowing a battery current, and included in that circuit is a pair of electrodes, one or both of which is of carbon. Frank Lewis Dyer. Edison, His Life and Inventions.
• The active metals of the electrodes--which will oxidize and reduce in this electrolyte without dissolution or chemical deterioration--are nickel and iron. Frank Lewis Dyer. Edison, His Life and Inventions.
• He had arranged twenty jars with platinum electrodes held in place by hard rubber. Frank Lewis Dyer. Edison, His Life and Inventions.
• The operator there, who was also agent, when asked by me if I could have the electrodes of each cell, made of sheet platinum, gave his permission readily, thinking they were of tin. Frank Lewis Dyer. Edison, His Life and Inventions.
• That Edison did produce speech with solid electrodes before Berliner is clearly proven. Frank Lewis Dyer. Edison, His Life and Inventions.
• These electrodes are always in contact with a certain initial pressure, so that current will be always flowing over the circuit. Frank Lewis Dyer. Edison, His Life and Inventions.
• If the current is allowed to flow twice as long, the amount of silver lost and gained by the electrodes is doubled; and if twice the current is used, the result is again doubled. Bertha M. Clark. General Science.
• A constant current of electricity is given off from the two electrodes through the wires, the metallic oxide being reduced and the carbon consumed. Edward W. Byrn. The Progress of Invention in the Nineteenth Century.
• The process consists in placing in a vacuum two leaves, or electrodes, of gold, and between them the original record. Frank Lewis Dyer. Edison, His Life and Inventions.
• The X-Ray tube, of globular or bulb shape, is shown just above the patient’s hip, and its opposite poles are connected by wires to the opposite electrodes of the generator. Edward W. Byrn. The Progress of Invention in the Nineteenth Century.
• A constant discharge of electricity of high tension between the electrodes is effected by means of an induction-coil. Frank Lewis Dyer. Edison, His Life and Inventions.
• One day I got hold of both electrodes of the coil, and it clinched my hand on them so that I couldn't let go. Frank Lewis Dyer. Edison, His Life and Inventions.
