Zinc and carbon are the two materials that form poles in a dry cell. Zinc anode serves as negative pole and carbon cathode serves as positive pole.

Why is ammonium chloride used as a paste instead of a dry solid in a dry cell?

Ammonium chloride paste is used in dry cells because it helps to reduce the internal resistance of the cell. The paste form allows for better contact between the components, enhancing the cell's performance by facilitating ion flow. Additionally, the paste form minimizes the risk of the electrolyte drying out, which could occur with a dry solid.


How are wet and dry cells the same?

A wet cell and a dry cell are the same in that they each have an anode, a cathode and and electrolyte. All three components are different chemically. The anode and the cathode will exhibit a voltage difference when placed in the electically conductive electrolyte. The voltage and reaction between the three parts of the cell are chemical reactions. A wet cell is different from a dry cell in that the electrolyte in the wet cell is a liquid where the so-called dry cell has an electrolyte that is either damp, moist or in a gelatinous form. ( The electrolyte is not actually "dry".) Otherwise the cells are the same. The cell may be a primary cell that is depleted as one of the elements is chemically consumed or the cell may be rechargable by reversing the chemical reaction.
