define the parts of a dry cell
Answers
Answer:
A dry cell is a type of electric battery, commonly used for portable electrical devices. ... A standard dry cell comprises a zinc anode, usually in the form of a cylindrical pot, with a carbon cathode in the form of a central rod. The electrolyte is ammonium chloride in the form of a paste next to the zinc anode.
Hey friend,
Here is the answer :-
◼ In this cell, the electrolyte used is not in the form of solution but it remains in the dry form.
◼ There is a zinc container in which manganese dioxide, ammonium chloride and carbon are kept.
◼ A carbon rod is kept in the middle of the mixture. Here carbon rod acts like an anode.
◼ The zinc container acts as a cathode.
◼ The dense paste of ammonium chloride (electrolyte) is kept inside the mixture of manganese dioxide and carbon.
