Question

A dry cell converts one form of energy into another form. Name these two forms of energy.

Answer 1

Hint: The cell is the device which converts the one form of the energy to another form of the energy by the process of electrolysis. During this process only the energy can be converted from one form to another form. If the process is not done, the energy transfer is not possible.

Complete step by step answer:
The energy conversion is also termed as the energy transformation, it is the process of converting the one energy form to another energy form. The energy conversion will occur continuously, whenever we need the energy, the energy will always be available. During the energy conversion process, the total amount of the energy in the system will not be changed and this is called the law of conservation of the energy.

Electrolysis is the process which converts the chemical energy into the electrical energy, so this process is used in the batteries. In this process the ionic substance is decomposed or breaks down into the simpler substances when the electric current is passed through them. A dry cell is an electrochemical cell which consists of low moisture electrolyte, and this electrolyte is in the form of gel type. So, it is called a dry cell or dry battery. The electrolysis process used in the dry cell, so the dry cell converts the chemical energy to the electrical energy.

Note:The dry cell battery is commonly used and it is daily used in life. The cells which are used in the clock and the remotes are dry batteries. Here, the chemical energy is converted to electrical energy, so that the electrical instrument will work.
