During iontophoresis, positive ions are driven toward which electrode?

Explanation:
In iontophoresis, charged particles move under the electric field toward electrodes of opposite charge. Positive ions (cations) are driven to the negative electrode, the cathode, because opposite charges attract. The cathode pulls these positive ions through the skin and into underlying tissues. Conversely, negatively charged ions would migrate toward the positive electrode (anode).
