Facets:
value: with a negative electrical polarity
type: OTHER
Source sentences:
text: The zinc has a more negative reduction potential (-.76V) than iron (-.04V) and therefore acts as an anode and oxidizes in preference to the iron.
text: A dry cell is usually made from zinc, which serves as the anode with a negative electrical polarity, while the inert carbon rod is the positive electrical pole cathode.
