Question

explain the working of a simple dry cell

Answer 1

A "dry-cell" battery is essentially comprised of a metal electrode or graphite rod (elemental carbon) surrounded by a moist electrolyte paste enclosed in a metal cylinder as shown below. The alkaline dry celllasts much longer as the zinc anode corrodes less rapidly under basic conditons than under acidic conditions.
