introduction
it is a dry alkaline cell which uses zinc and manganese dioxide as reactants.
anode
zinc rod serves as the anode
cathod
manganese dioxide acts as the cathode in the alkaline battery.
electrolyte
the electrolyte contains potassium hydroxide and is alkaline. the battery is enclosed in a steel container
anode
the anode is made of zinc and it is slightly porous.
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.
voltage of the cell
the voltage of the cell is 1.5 V.
