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 maximum current in zinc carbon dry cell?

The maximum current output for a zinc-carbon dry cell is typically around 1 ampere. However, this can vary depending on the specific brand and size of the cell. It is important to check the manufacturer's specifications for accurate information.


How a carbon-zinc dry cell supplies electric current for a CD player?

A carbon-zinc dry cell supplies electric current by converting chemical energy into electrical energy through a chemical reaction between the carbon rod (negative electrode) and the zinc can (positive electrode). When connected in a circuit, electrons flow from the anode (zinc) to the cathode (carbon), generating a flow of electric current. This current can power a CD player by providing the necessary energy to operate its electronic components.


What is the half cell reaction of ordinary dry cell?

An ordinary dry cell is pretty well answered by: Anode: Zn → Zn2+ + 2e- Cathode: 2NH4+ + 2MnO2 + 2e- → Mn2O3 + H2O + 2NH3


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.


How does the voltage measured across a dry cell ompare with the voltage drop measured across three bulbs in series?

The voltage measured across a dry cell is the total voltage output of the cell, typically around 1.5 volts. When three bulbs are connected in series, the total voltage drop across the bulbs will be the same as the voltage output of the dry cell. So, the voltage measured across the dry cell is equal to the voltage drop measured across the three bulbs in series.

What best describes a direct current?

The current produced by batteries is direct current. Electronic devices need direct current; in this case, they need a power supply (often built into the electronic device itself), that converts the alternating current, from the electric outlet, to direct current.

What is a wet cell and how is it different than the dry cell batteries that are so common today?

A wet cell is a secondary cell that can be recharged after they had been used up by passing current backwards through them. It is different from the dry cell in that dry cell are not rechargeable.

How does the dry cell work when chopped?

A dry cell battery has the electrolyte immobilized as a paste, with only enough moisture in it to allow current to flow. A dry cell can operate in any orientation without spilling as it contains no free liquid.
