In electrotherapy, what is the anode?

  1. The negative pole

  2. The positive pole

  3. A type of current

  4. An insulating material

The correct answer is: The positive pole

The anode in electrotherapy is the positive pole. This is a common misconception as the anode is often associated with being negative, however, in electrotherapy, the anode is the positively charged electrode. Option A is incorrect as the anode is not the negative pole. Option C is incorrect as the anode is not a type of current, it is an electrode. Option D is incorrect as the anode is not an insulating material, it is a conductive material used to deliver electrical current. It is important to understand the correct polarity of electrodes in electrotherapy in order to safely and effectively administer treatments.
