Six anodes were suspended, alternately with four cathodes, in a saturated solution of copper sulphate in a cylindrical fire-clay trough, all the anodes being connected in one parallel group, and all the cathodes in another.
The cathodes are frequently of electro-deposited copper, deposited to a thickness of about 1/32 in.
The anodes and cathodes are separated by the special diaphragms, and each vessel is thus divided into ten anode or chlorine sections and ten cathode or caustic soda sections.
The installation consists of five large electrolytic vessels, each of which is fitted up with five anodes and six cathodes arranged alternately.
The anodes andcathodes in each vessel are connected up in parallel similar to an ordinary storage battery, but the five electrolytic vessels are connected up in series.
Rotating zinc cathodes were used, with scrapers to prevent the accumulation of a layer of insoluble magnesium compounds, which would otherwise increase the electrical resistance beyond reasonable limits.
For example, Wilde produced copper printing surfaces for calico printing-rollers and the like by immersing rotating iron cylinders as cathodes in a copper bath.
Here the anode is fixed in a bell, mounted in a larger iron tank where the cathodesare placed.
As the electrolysis goes on, NaOH is formed at the cathodes and remains at the bottom.
The secondary of the transformer carries a central tapping, and is connected through the direct current load to the central anode, while each of the cathodes is connected to the ordinary terminals of the transformer itself.
It differs from the latter in that it has two cathodes of aluminum and an anode of lead or platinum, suspended in the one cell.
We have at present no exact data as to the amount of energy which must be given to an ion to make it luminous on recombination; it also certainly varies with the nature of the ion; thus even with hot Wehnelt cathodes J.
Goldstein discovered that if in a tube there are two cathodes connected together, the cathodic rays from one cathode are deflected when they pass near the other.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "cathodes" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
