What's the difference between cathode and cell?

Cathode


Definition:

  • (n.) The part of a voltaic battery by which the electric current leaves substances through which it passes, or the surface at which the electric current passes out of the electrolyte; the negative pole; -- opposed to anode.

Cell


Definition:

  • (n.) A very small and close apartment, as in a prison or in a monastery or convent; the hut of a hermit.
  • (n.) A small religious house attached to a monastery or convent.
  • (n.) Any small cavity, or hollow place.

  • (n.) One of the minute elementary structures, of which the greater part of the various tissues and organs of animals and plants are composed.
  • (v. t.) To place or inclose in a cell.
