   The control grid regulates the number of electrons which are allowed to leave the gun of a CRT by using a negative voltage to repel the electrons. Once free of the control grid's influence, the electrons then need to be accelerated down the tube to ensure that they strike the phosphor face-plate lining with sufficient energy to excite the phosphor molecules and produce light. Just as a negative voltage repels the electrons, a positive voltage will attract them and an electrode, called the anode, to which a positive voltage is applied is used to provide this acceleration. The process is similar to that used to accelerate space probes by making use of the gravity-well of a planet to provide a 'sling-shot' effect. The idea being that, by the time the electrodes arrive in the vicinity of the anode, they are going too fast to be sufficiently diverted from their path to strike it.

    An `anode` is an electrode through which (positive) `electric current` flows `into` a polarized electrical device. Mnemonic: ACID (Anode Current Into Device). To dispel a common misconception, often incorrectly inferred from the correct fact that in all electrochemical devices negatively charged anions move towards the anode and/or positively charged cations move away from it, anode polarity is not always positive but depends on the device type,...
