This is surrounded by a mixture of manganese dioxide and charcoal in a muslin bag. The electrolyte uses is a moist paste of ammonium chloride. The outer body (excluding the base) of the zinc container is insulated with cardboard.  When the dry cell is connected in a circuit comprising a bulb, current flows in the circuit due to the chemical reaction that takes place in the cell.
