Solution
In a galvanic (voltaic) cell, the anode is considered negative and the cathode is considered positive. This seems reasonable as the anode is the source of electrons and cathode is where the electrons flow.
Hence in a galvanic cell, the anode is considered to be negative while the cathode to be positive electrode.
