Electrons have a negative charge. For that reason, electrons will always flow in the opposite direction of the current, which flows from positive to negative.

Electrons will therefore move from a negative terminal to a positive terminal when we look at the load on a cell. Within the cell, the electrons will flow from the positive terminal to the negative terminal.

The shortage of electrons exists at the blank termnal of a dry cell?

The shortage of electrons exists at the positive terminal of a dry cell. These positive terminals attract electrons, creating a flow of current from the negative terminal to the positive terminal through an external circuit.


In a dry cell the carbon rod releases electrons and becomes the positive or negative terminal?

In a dry cell, the carbon rod is the positive terminal, or anode.


What are two parts of a electric cell?

Two parts of an electric cell are the anode and the cathode. The anode is the positive terminal where electrons leave the cell, while the cathode is the negative terminal where electrons enter the cell.


What terminal does electrons flow from in a dry cell?

That is a good way to run the cell down quickly. Electrons are negatively charged so they always move from the positive terminal towards the negative. Each electron carries a charge of 1.602 x 10-19 coulombs so 1 coulomb (1 amp for 1 second) carries 6.24 x 1018 electrons.


When a dry cell is connected in a series the flow of electrons move from the what to the what?

They move from the positive to the negative. There are more specific answers to this question so I recommend that you read several of the answers that are offered.


Why is it necessary that an electron returns to the positive terminal of the battery each time another electron leaves the negative terminal?

Electrons are negatively charged, and so are attracted to the positive end of a battery and repelled by the negative end. So when the battery is hooked up to something that lets the electrons flow through it, they flow from negative to positive.


In which direction do electrons flow?

From anode to cathode.


How current flow from positive to negative terminal in cell?

DC current. Some experts argue that indications show that electrons flow from negative to positive (According to current arguments), but it is assumed generally that electrons flow from positive to negative.


Which direction current flow inside the cell?

Current flows from the positive terminal (anode) to the negative terminal (cathode) inside a cell or battery. This flow of electric charge is due to the movement of electrons through the external circuit connecting the two terminals.


How does electric current in a electric cell passes?

From the Positive terminal (+ve) to the negative terminal (-ve).


How is carbon zinc dry cell produces a voltage difference between the positive and negative terminals?

In a carbon-zinc dry cell, there is a chemical reaction between the zinc container (acting as the anode) and the electrolyte paste inside. This reaction generates electrons at the anode and releases them to the terminal, creating a surplus of electrons at the negative terminal and a deficit at the positive terminal, thus producing a voltage difference between the terminals.
