Question
Define electrode and electrode potential.

Answer

Electrode: An electrode is a small piece of metal or metal rod that is used to flow current through electrolyte.
Electrode Potential: The electrical potential difference set up between the metal and solution of its ions is known as the electrode potential or half cell potential. It is denoted by the letter E.
