Usage Notes (Chinese (Simplified))

“阴极”是物理和电子学中的专业术语。其极性随设备不同而变化：在电池中为正极，但在二极管或电解池等可能为负极。常与“阳极”一起出现。

Examples

Electrons flow into the cathode of a battery.

电子流入电池的**阴极**。

The positive terminal of most batteries is the cathode.

大多数电池的正极是**阴极**。

A diode has both a cathode and an anode.

二极管有**阴极**和阳极。

Make sure you connect the wire to the cathode, not the anode.

确保你把电线接到**阴极**，而不是阳极。

If the cathode is damaged, the device won’t work properly.

如果**阴极**损坏，设备就无法正常工作。

People sometimes mix up the cathode and anode when building circuits.

人们在组装电路时有时会把**阴极**和阳极搞混。
