A zinc-carbon cell primarily consists of zinc (the anode), manganese dioxide (the cathode), and an electrolyte typically made of ammonium chloride or zinc chloride. The zinc serves as the negative electrode, while manganese dioxide acts as the positive electrode, facilitating the electrochemical reactions. The electrolyte allows the movement of ions within the cell, completing the circuit. Additional materials, such as carbon black, may be included to enhance conductivity and performance.
