3
New cards

cathod

manganese dioxide acts as the cathode in the alkaline battery.

4
New cards

electrolyte

the electrolyte contains potassium hydroxide and is alkaline. the battery is enclosed in a steel container

5
New cards

anode

the anode is made of zinc and it is slightly porous.

6
New cards

advantages

The zinc anode is also slightly porous giving it a larger efective area. This allows the cell to deliver more current than the common dry cell. It has also longer life.

7
New cards

voltage of the cell

the voltage of the cell is 1.5 V.
