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).
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.
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.
An ordinary dry cell is pretty well answered by: Anode: Zn → Zn2+ + 2e- Cathode: 2NH4+ + 2MnO2 + 2e- → Mn2O3 + H2O + 2NH3
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.
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.
Simply, direct current (DC). The amount of current depends on the circuit it is used in.
Alternating current.
directA dry cell battery produces DC.
The voltage will be double that of one dry cell. The current will be that of one dry cell.
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.
It is DC or `direct current'.
A Direct Current, DC.

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.
A dry cell is used in a flashlight to convert electrical energy into light energy.
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.
