Ejemplo
The anode in an electrolytic capacitor stores and releases electrical energy as it charges and discharges.
In a vacuum system, the anode attracts and collects any residual gas molecules to maintain the vacuum.
In electroplating, the metal to be plated is connected to the anode, releasing ions that form a coating on the object.
The vacuum inside a cathode-ray tube allows electrons to travel from the cathode to the anode without encountering air molecules, facilitating the display of images.
