Question

Explain how a dry cell produces electricity

Answer 1

A dry cell uses an electrochemical reaction to generate electricity. The electrodes are the graphite cathode and a zinc anode. They are in contact with the electrolyte, which is a paste of manganese dioxide and ammonium chloride. In dry cell battery converts chemical energy into electricity.

Answer 2

In dry cell battery converts chemical energy into electricity. The chemical reaction produces electrons, which then collect at the negative terminal of the battery. When there is a connection between the positive and negative terminal, the electrons flow to the positive terminal.
