There are two conductors were electricity begins and runs through wires which make energy come out of a battery.

In the center of each cell there is a rod called a cathode. It is usually composed of graphite. Surrounding this cathode there is an electrolytic substance which acts as a medium to conduct electricity. The cathode and electrolytic substance are separated from the outer container by a cardboard tube. This assembly is sealed into a metallic cylinder. In older type batteries this cylinder was made of zinc. This part of the battery is known as the anode. When a load is connected between the cathode (+) and the anode (-) terminals, a chemical reaction takes place between the cathode and the electrolytic material. This chemical reaction generates a 1.5 volt potential between the two terminals.

Would a battery made out of lemon and two metals be a wet cell or a dry cell battery?
wet cell battery
Is lithium a dry cell or battery?
Literally, Lithium is an element. Cells which have Lithium in them are dry cells.
What is meant by a cell has a voltage of 1.5volt?
No. The potential DIFFERENCE of a battery (or, more accurately, a dry cell) is 1.5 V.
Explain the construction and working of a dry cell?
a dry cell has many uses. it is basically a battery. a dry cell can be used in torches, clocks, watches, etc. this is the exact definition of a dry cell (from Science Focis 2) "A dry cell is not completely dry, but contains a chemical paste instead of a liquid. As in a wet cell, a chemical reaction generates charge that will flow when the cell is connected to a circuit"
What did carl gassner invent?
Carl Gassner invented the first commercially successful dry cell battery ( zinc-carbon cell). 1899 - Waldmar Jungner invented the first nickel-cadmium.
How a dry cell car battery looks like?
The connections on a dry cell auto battery are totally different than a regular wet cell battery.
What are some examples of a dry cell battery and a wet cell battery?
A dry cell battery is full of solid or paste-like electrolytes. One example of a dry cell is anode, which is a zinc metal. A wet cell battery is full of liquid electrolytes. One example of a liquid cell is an old car battery.
Does a dry cell battery produce alternating current or direct current?
directA dry cell battery produces DC.
Would a battery made out of lemon and two metals be a wet cell or a dry cell battery?
wet cell battery
Difference between dry cell and wet cell?
a dry cell is a cell that has electrolyte that is a paste a wet cell is a cell that has a liquid electrolyte -sads
Is a car battery a wet cell or dry cell?
A car battery is a wet cell. Only recently have dry cells been introduced, but your typical car battery is a wet lead storage battery.
Is car battery is the same with regular battery like EverReady?
No, an automobile battery is a wet cell battery not a dry cell battery.
