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.
Why the dry cell work when kept in sunlight?
A dry cell works when kept in sunlight because it is comprised of a metal called electrode or graphite rod. The sunlight helps the cell to maintained 1.5 volts and stored a charge of one coulomb.
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.
How does a lightning rod help guide the electric current?
lightning rods help you because of the metal in the rod

What kind of material is used to make the positive electrode of a dry cell?
The positive electrode is a graphite rod (elemental carbon).
How do you get the graphite into a pencil?
Precut segments of wood are glued around a rod of graphite.
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 is riostat?
If u are talking something relevant to electric circuit, then it is rheostat and not riostat. It is a device which has metal wire with n no. of turn wound to a metal rod and is attached to electric circuit to decrease the resistance.
