Electrolytic Cell:

An electrolytic cell is the assembly of two electrodes in an electrolyteAn electrolyte is a substance that dissociates in water into charged particles called ions. Positively charged ions are called cations. Negatively charged ions are called anions. Simply, an electrolyte is a... More connected to a suitable direct current supply.

Thus in an electrolytic cell oxidation occurs at the anodeAn anode is an electrode of a polarized electrical device through which conventional current enters the device. It is the positive part of electrolytes where oxidation takes place. More and reduction at the
