Uses
Electrodes are used to provide current through nonmetal objects to alter them in numerous ways and to measure conductivity for numerous purposes. Examples include:
- Electrodes for medical purposes, such as EEG, ECG, ECT, defibrillator
- Electrodes for electrophysiology techniques in biomedical research
- Electrodes for execution by the electric chair
- Electrodes for electroplating
- Electrodes for arc welding
- Electrodes for cathodic protection
- Electrodes for grounding
- Electrodes for chemical analysis using electrochemical methods
- Inert electrodes for electrolysis (made of platinum)
- Membrane electrode assembly
