ELECTRODE POTENTIAL For any electrode —» oxidiation potential E.,. = RP of cathode -R.P of anode E_, = RP. of cathode + O.P of anode E.,, is always a +ve quantity & Anode will be electrode of low R.P E®., = SRP of cathode - SRP of anode, Reduction potential 2 Greater the SRP value greater will be oxidising power.
