physical meaning of ?
The tendency to accept or donate electrons is represented by the sign and absolute value of the standard electrode potentials.
The tendency to accept or donate electrons is represented by the sign and absolute value of the standard electrode potentials.
That means:
high positive potential values indicate a strong tendency for accepting electrons
A higher positive potential of a given half-cell with respect to another indicates that the former has stronger oxidizing ability than the latter.

Current: the index of reaction rate
Consider 1 mole of A- is oxidized to A
