 OF COURSE , CATHODE IS THE NEGATIVE TERMINAL AND ANODE THE POSITIVE TERMINAL . BUT THE QUESTION IS DURING AN ELECROPLATING . SO , THE ANSWER IS THAT THE CATHODE IS THE OBJECT TO BE ELECTROPLATED AND THE ANODE IS THEMETAL TO BE USED FOR COATING .

Cathode is the negative electrode in electrolytic cell and a positive electrode in galvanic cell at which the reduction reaction takes place

Anode is the positive electrode in electrolytic cell and a negative electrode in galvanic cell at which the oxidation reaction takes place

the electrode from which electricity enters an electrolytic solution is called cathode.the electrode from which electricity leaves an electrolytic solution is called anode.
