The world needs a new source of energy, an unspillable source.

How does a simple cell work and is it actually a galvanic cell or a electrolytic cell?

There are 2 different electrodes, right? One’s an anode and one’s a cathode. And apparently, a negative electrode is called an anode. Since it’s negative, shouldn’t it attract *positive ions* so reduction will take place? Why does oxidation take place instead?
