How-To: Remember Your Cathode from Your Anode

This adorable kitty pic from the Machine Project site reminded me of something in Dave Hrynkiw’s Junkbots… book about how to remember the polarity of the cathode and anode sides of a diode. He said his Physics teacher used to say: “I fell very negative about cats.” (Cathode being the negative side.)

(And yes, I know this particular cat is looking at a capacitor not a diode, so don’t send me mail.)

Digg!
