Question

What is the negative terminal in dry cell?

Answer 1

A carbon rod collects the current from the manganese dioxide electrode, giving the name to the cell. A dry cell is usually made from zinc which serves as the anode with a negative electrical polarity, while the inert carbon rod is the positive electrical pole cathode.

Answer 2

A carbon rod collects the current from the manganese dioxide electrode, giving the name to the cell. A dry cell is usually made from zinc which serves as the anode with a negative electrical polarity, while the inert carbon rod is the positive electrical pole cathode.

ammonium chloride is also considered as electrolyte paste. Thus, in the last we can conclude that in the dry cell, zinc acts as a negative electrode, or anode.
