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.

Is cardboard a good conductor of electricity?

Cardboard is an insulator of electricity. It is not the best insulator to use for this as cardboard can be affected by moisture and any corrosion of nearby batteries. If it becomes wet with an electrolyte solution (such as salt water), it could become a conductor under certain conditions.To test this, put a battery and a light in series and leave the contacts open between the light and the battery. Then touch the wire to the cardboard and the cardboard to the battery. The light will not light up.
