Answer:

Certainly! Below is a typical diagram of an electrolytic cell:

```

(+) Anode (Negative electrode)

Electrolyte--|---> (+) Cathode (Positive electrode)

|_________________________|

(-) (+)

```

In an electrolytic cell:

- The positive electrode (cathode) attracts negatively charged ions (anions) from the electrolyte solution.

- The negative electrode (anode) attracts positively charged ions (cations) from the electrolyte solution.

- The electrolyte solution allows ions to move between the electrodes.

- An external power source provides the necessary electrical energy to drive the non-spontaneous chemical reaction occurring at the electrodes.
