katodic
Katodic refers to a specific arrangement or configuration, often encountered in technical or scientific contexts. The term itself implies a connection to or association with a cathode. In electrochemistry, for instance, the cathodic side of a cell is where reduction occurs, and processes are described as cathodic if they involve this phenomenon. This can include cathodic protection, a method used to prevent corrosion by making a metal surface the cathode of an electrochemical cell.
Beyond electrochemistry, the concept of "katodic" can extend to other fields where a specific pole or directionality
