A Salt-Bridge can be constructed using a glass tube filled with a high concentration of an inert salt such as KCl that employs a porous plug at both ends, a saline soaked piece of paper or cardboard, or a fritted-glass disk. In any case, the salt-bridge is arranged so that inert ions can flow between the half-cells, but gross mixing of the half-cell solutions is prevented. As the Battery operates, Cl-, in the case of the glass-tube construction, will flow from the Salt-Bridge into the Anode so as to counter the build-up of Positive Ions. At the same time, K+ ions will flow into the Cathode to replace the depleted Positive Ions. KCl is frequently used for Salt-Bridge construction because the ionic mobilities of K+ adn Cl- are nearly equal.

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.

What would happen to the cell potential if a salt bridge is not used?

If a salt bridge is not used, the cell potential would decrease because without a salt bridge, the flow of ions between the two half-cells would be disrupted, leading to a buildup of charge and a decrease in the efficiency of the cell.
