What kind current is produced by a dry cell?

A dry cell battery does not use current it produces a current when connected to an electrical load. The type of current that the dry cell produces is DC (direct current).


What is the current produced by dry cells?

Alternating current.


Does a dry cell battery produce alternating current or direct current?

directA dry cell battery produces DC.


What type of current do dry-cell batteries produce?

A Direct Current, DC.


What type of current does a dry-cell battery use?

It is DC or `direct current'.


How are the dry cells connected in series connection?

The voltage will be double that of one dry cell. The current will be that of one dry cell.

What kind of current is produced by dry cells?

Simply, direct current (DC). The amount of current depends on the circuit it is used in.

The ocean current responsible for the dry coastal Lands of Peru and northern Chile?

The ocean current responsible for the dry coastal lands of Peru and northern Chile begins near the tip of South America. It is known as the Humboldt or Peru Current.


Does a dry-cell battery produce the same current that a generator produces?

A dry cell produces direct current, which means that the current flows from one terminal of the dry cell to the other in one direction only. The word generator nowadays often means a device that produces alternating current, which is to say current that reverses its direction, usually at a fixed rate called the frequency. For instance, the current available in North American homes is alternating current at 60 cycles per second; it reverses direction 120 times per second. A machine that produces current that resembles what is available from a dry cell is often called a dynamo. These devices are similar to generators but with switches in them to change the alternating current to direct current, in effect. The current they produce is still not quite like that from a dry cell inasmuch as it's not perfectly 'smooth' continuous direct current. There's a ripple of slightly higher and lower current superimposed on the direct current. Please see the link, especially the graph associated with the Gramme dynamo.


Will more current flow when the skin is wet or dry?

Any electrical current will flow better on something wet as opposed to something dry. This means that the water on wet skin will conduct the electricity better than it would be conducted on dry skin
