a dry cell has many uses. it is basically a battery. a dry cell can be used in torches, clocks, watches, etc. this is the exact definition of a dry cell (from Science Focis 2) "A dry cell is not completely dry, but contains a chemical paste instead of a liquid. As in a wet cell, a chemical reaction generates charge that will flow when the cell is connected to a circuit"

How the defect of simple cell are corrected in a dry cell?

The defects of a simple cell in a dry cell are corrected by using a paste electrolyte instead of a liquid electrolyte. The paste electrolyte prevents leakage and increases the stability of the cell. Additionally, the construction of the dry cell includes a seal to prevent exposure to air and moisture, which further improves its performance.

Can a dry cell battery be recharged?

Some wet cells can be recharged (e.g. lead acid cell) some wet cells can't be recharged (e.g. gravity cell). Some dry cells can be recharged (e.g. NiMH cell) some wet cells can't be recharged (e.g. carbon zinc cell). It depends on the cell chemistry not the wet/dry construction. Also any wet cell can be made into a dry cell by absorbing the wet electrolyte into something and making a damp paste electrolyte.

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.


Why is a cell referred to as a dry cell?

A cell is referred to as a dry cell because it contains little to no free liquid electrolyte. The electrolyte is typically immobilized in a paste or absorbed in a material like paper or fiberglass, making it "dry" in comparison to other cells that may contain liquid electrolytes.
