Is the electrode the metal or graphite rod in an electric cell?

Tt depends on the metal which is the cathode and which is the anode. However, in most cases, graphite is the cathode and the metal is the anode. the strictly correct answer is that BOTH the metal and the graphite rod are electrodes. You must have two electrodes minimum to create a cell.


What property of graphite is used as the central rod in dry cell?

The property of graphite is the killing of many other materials of the history of the elements of the chemistry.. It is discovered by Warren Jake Mendoza. A chemist who discovered this issue.


What happens when a used dry cell graphite rod is heated?

Nothing except that it gets hot


What is the difference between a wet cell and a dry cell?

* 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. * In the most common type of dry cell battery, the cathode is composed of a form of elemental carbon called graphite, which serves as a solid support for the reduction half-reaction. * At the center of each dry cell battery is a rod called a cathode, which is generally made of metal or graphite and is surrounded by an electrolyte paste. The cathode and electrolyte paste are wrapped in paper or cardboard.


Is graphite rod a conductor or insulator?

Graphite is a good conductor of electricity due to its delocalized electrons that can move freely within the material, allowing for the flow of electric current.


How does a lightning rod help guide the electric current?

lightning rods help you because of the metal in the rod


What is the predecessor of the graphite pencil especially popular during the Renaissance?

Prior to modern graphite pencils, the pencil was simply a rod of soft lead metal. The alternative was the quill pen.

What kind of material is used to make the positive electrode of a dry cell?

The positive electrode is a graphite rod (elemental carbon).


Is a carbon rod an insulator?

A carbon rod may be an insulator or a conductor. It depends on which allotrope of carbon we're talking about. Electricity can travel through a graphite (carbon) rod easily, but it cannot travel through a diamond rod. Both graphite and diamond are carbon, but the former is a conductor while the latter is an insulator.


How do you get the graphite into a pencil?

Precut segments of wood are glued around a rod of graphite.


What is the metal leaf electroscope?

The metal leaf electroscope is a simple device used to detect the presence of electric charges. It consists of two thin metal leaves attached to a metal rod within a glass enclosure. When a charged object is brought close to the metal rod, the like charges repel the leaves, causing them to diverge and indicate the presence of an electric charge.
