The anode is the electrode where oxidation (loss of electrons) takes place; in a galvanic cell, it is the negative electrode, as when oxidation occurs, electrons are left behind on the electrode. These electrons then migrate to the cathode (positive electrode).

Answer the first public school in England was eton. opened in the 1400's Answer We have to be careful in this answer because the term public school means different things to different people. In the UK, a public school is independent, which makes it the equivalent of a private school in the US. Given that definition, Eton is probably the oldest, though I cannot say it was the first. In the US, a public school is a state run school. It is hard to know what the first school was under this definition. Clearly there were schools financed at public expense in the Roman Empire, especially if you include schools set up by emperors by decree. The Byzantines had a primary school system open in 425 AD. The oldest state run school in the world is said to be Beverley Grammar School, which was opened in Northumbria in 700 AD.
