In this video, we will talk about Electrode potential and cell potential. Electrode potential can simply be defined as the tendency of an electrode to lose or gain electrons when it is in contact with a solution of its own ions.
If in the half cell, the metal rod is suspended in a solution of one molar concentration, and a temperature is kept at 298K , the electrode potential is called standard electrode potential. 

Cell Potential is the difference between the electrode potentials of the half cells. This is also called electromotive force (EMF) of the cell if no current is drawn from the cell.
