What type of energy does a dry cell battery use and how does it work?

Dry cell batteries, like wet cell batteries, use chemical reactions to create positive and negative ions within the battery that then separate out to the cathode and anode sides of the battery, creating a potential difference between the electrodes. The actual term, dry cell, comes from the fact that the chemicals in the battery have minimal moisture added to them, thereby making them "leak-proof" and thus safe for portable devices.

What is the main fuel source for the work of the cell-?
ATP is called the energy source (battery) of the cell.
How does a Dry Cell battery work?
An electromotive force is generated from chemical reactions inside the cell. Carbon - zinc, iron - nickel, lead - sulphuric acid, are common ones. An individual cell is just that, a cell. Strictly, a battery is a collection of such cells
What type of energy conversion takes place when charging a battery?
when a battery is charged the electrons are received by the acidic compound in the battery. then it is stored in battery. then released to anything you wanted. "if you think this won't work buy a new battery instead of asking such question in web"
Does a dry cell battery work on the moon?
no
How does a torch work using the energy from a battery?
because of the electricity in the battery
How could a lamp or water pump work at night using a solar cell?
Anything attached directly to a solar cell will only work when the cell is putting out enough energy - or if the cell is getting enough sunlight. If there is no battery or capacitor attached between the solar cell and the lamp or water pump, for example, they will only work when the solar cell is receiving sunlight.
How do cell phone clocks work?
with a battery :megusta:
Will a cell phone work if you take out the battery?
seriously? does your tv work if you unplug it?
Why does a mobile need a battery?
A mobile 'phone needs a source of energy to power and make it work. A battery provides this energy.
Where does the energy go when the battery runs down?
Great question! Energy cannot be created or destroyed, it only changes form. Electrical energy is only converted into some other form of energy such as force, light, or heat. The energy from a battery will only dissipate to ground or is used to convert to some other form. Lets say your battery has a dead cell. The energy is going to ground in this case. But even with no problem the battery will eventually run down. This is know as self discharge and is due to non-current producing side chemical reactions, which occur within the cell even when no load is being applied. The energy is used to do whatever work you put the battery to. If you use it to power a light, the energy turns into light.

What is the energy transformation in bell?
The chemical energy of the battery is transformed into electrical energy to light the lamp. When an external circuit is completed around the battery, chemical reactions occur inside the cell or cells, and electric current flows to do the work of heating the filament in the lamp to incandescence. We've got light. cemical-light-thermal.
