anode
Cathode's opposite pole
An anode is the positive electrode in an electrical device—the terminal where current flows in.
In a battery, it's where oxidation occurs; in electroplating, it's the metal that dissolves.
The term pairs with cathode, its negative counterpart: Connect the red wire to the anode.
