The zinc rod forms the positive terminal of a dry cell?
No, it is the carbon
In a dry cell the carbon rod releases electrons and becomes the positive or negative terminal?
In a dry cell, the carbon rod is the positive terminal, or anode.
The shortage of electrons exists at the blank termnal of a dry cell?
The shortage of electrons exists at the positive terminal of a dry cell. The function of the negative terminal is to pick up the electrons.
The positive terminal of a dry cell battery identifies the location of the carbon rod?
yes
How do dry cell batterys work?
when it works it has copper sulfate solution inside the wet cell battery which takes the electrodes from the negative terminal (-) to the positive terminal (+).
What would happen to a dry cell or battery if the positive and negative terminal were shorted?
It could blow up the battery.
What is the direction of flow of current in a dry cell?
Current doesn't flow inside the cell. The cell is used to push current through an external circuit. The so-called "conventional" current flows out of the positive terminal of the cell, through the circuit, and back into the negative terminal of the cell. The confusing truth is that the actual physical carrier of current is the electron, which carries a negative charge. So the things that are actually moving and carrying the current through the circuit leave the dry cell from its negative terminal, physically flow through the circuit, and end up at the cell's positive terminal.
What terminal does electrons flow from in a dry cell?
That is a good way to run the cell down quickly. Electrons are negatively charged so they always move from the positive terminal towards the negative. Each electron carries a charge of 1.602 x 10-19 coulombs so 1 coulomb (1 amp for 1 second) carries 6.24 x 1018 electrons.

What is the metal cap on a dry cell battery called?
It is called Terminal.
Because it has a potential difference between the positive and negative terminals what can act as an electron pump?
dry cell
Negative terminal of a drycell is made upof?
The bottom outer casing of a dry cell is the negative.
