oxidation reaction takes place as it losses its electrons
Reduction occurs at the cathode in an electrolytic cell.
A metal mold can be made at the cathode of a cell.
The Cathode is the negative electrode; the anode is the positive electrode
Cell differentiation
A battery stores energy through the potential difference between the anode and cathode of the battery. When there is no circuit the potential power is stored somewhat indefinitely (although it can degrade over time). Once a circuit is made, an electrolytic cell is created releasing energy as the chemical reaction occurs.
The reduction half-reaction of a redox reaction
The magnesium would be the cathode in a galvanic cell with zinc. Reduction occurs at the cathode during cell operation, and in this case, magnesium is reduced while zinc undergoes oxidation at the anode.
If the reactants in a galvanic cell are in contact, electrons will flow from the anode (where oxidation occurs) to the cathode (where reduction occurs) through the external circuit. This flow of electrons creates an electric current that can be used to do work.
Reduction occurs at the cathode in an electrolytic cell.
*electrolytic cells Oxidation occurs at the cathode
In a galvanic cell, chemical energy is converted into electrical energy through a redox reaction. This involves the transfer of electrons from the anode (where oxidation occurs) to the cathode (where reduction occurs), creating an electric current that can be used to do work.
In a galvanic cell or electrolytic cell, the copper can serve as either an anode or cathode depending on the specific set-up and reaction conditions. An anode is where oxidation occurs, while a cathode is where reduction occurs.

from the anode to the cathode through an external circuit.
Reduction occurs at the cathode in an electrolytic cell.
If steel is the cathode in a galvanic cell, then another metal must be the anode. The anode is where oxidation occurs, so a metal that oxidizes more readily than steel, such as zinc or magnesium, would likely be the anode in this scenario.
In a galvanic cell with silver and nickel electrodes, the nickel electrode will be oxidized. Oxidation occurs at the anode, where electrons are released as nickel atoms lose electrons and form nickel ions. Silver ions from the other electrode will capture these electrons as the reduction reaction occurs at the cathode.
