Neither one is "better" than the other, it simply means the circuit will have a different layout/components if you choose one over the other.

Compare an anode and a cathode?
The Anode (+) is what you connect the positive voltage to The Cathode (-) is what you connect the negative voltage to.
Will electrons flow from anode to cathod?
"from anode to cathode". Normally, no. Taking a radio valve (electron tube), since the anode is positive compared to the cathode, and since electrons flow from surplus (at the negative cathode) to deficiency (at the positive anode), they do *not* flow from anode to cathode in normal operation. It's possible to have electrons striking the anode and *knocking off* electrons from it, and then to have those electrons travelling back towards the cathode. This is secondary emission. It was a problem in four-element "tetrode" valves in the early days, but has now been eliminated in practical designs. Long story short: it's possible, but undesirable and not common.
What is a positive electrode?
A positive electrode is a cathode. A negative electrode is an anode.An anode is positively charged, while a cathode is negatively charged.
What happens when smaller area is provided to cathode than anode?
When the area provided to the cathode is smaller than the anode the electrons will still flow.
How many terminals does a diode have?
two, cathode & anode
What is cathode and anode?
cathode is electron negative but anode is positiveAnswerFor electrochemical cells, electrons travel through the external circuit from the anode to the cathode.
Is iron a anode or cathode?
it is an anode
The relationship between a cathode and an anode involves what?
The relationship between a cathode and an anode involves
On a silicon-controlled rectifier which wire is the anode and which the cathode?
Anode is positive, cathode is negative
What is the anode and cathode of Baghdad's battery?
the copper cylinder(cathode) and iron rod(anode)
That is function anode and cathode piping?
that is function of anode and cathode in underground piping yes
What is the negative electrode of a voltaic cell called?
This is the anode.
Cations are attracted to cathod or anode?
DNA is neither cathode or anode, but it is negatively charged, so the DNA molecules will rn from anode to cathode
IS carbon rod a cathode or anode?
cathode
In cathode ray tube cathode and anode rays travel opposite to each other but they are not neutralized. why?
There is no such thing as anode rays. The cathode rays (aka electron beam) just travels from cathode to anode.
Compare an anode and a cathode?
The Anode (+) is what you connect the positive voltage to The Cathode (-) is what you connect the negative voltage to.
What are the uses of Cathode Rays and Anode Rays?
cathode rays can emit electrons anode can collect them
