Question

The common dry cell produces a voltage of:
A.$1.5{\text{V}}$
B.$4{\text{V}}$
C.$2{\text{V}}$
D.$3{\text{V}}$

Answer 1

Hint: To answer this question, you must recall the properties of a common dry cell. Common dry cell is a kind of an electricity producing chemical cell that is used commonly for many devices in combination in the form of batteries

Complete answer:
A dry cell is an electrochemical device that converts chemical energy into electrical energy. It has two terminals, namely a positive terminal and a negative terminal. When the two terminals are connected to an electronic device, electrons start to flow through it and thus electric current flows. The energy produced as a result of chemical reactions in the cell generates electricity by providing the energy required by electrons to move in the circuit.
By set standards, a dry cell produces a constant voltage of $1.5{\text{V}}$.

Thus, the correct option is A.
Note:
In a dry cell, the electrolyte is present as a paste with a small amount of humidity in it so as to allow the current flow. Since there is no liquid in it, a dry cell works without spilling and is thus suitable for use in mobile devices. Each cell has two electrically conductive electrodes immersed in an electrolyte. The electrodes are made up of different materials, one which absorbs electrons from the electrolyte and the other which releases electrons into it. Once an electrical system is connected to it, the circuit is completed and current starts to flow and supports its functioning through the electric power. In short, dry cells render electricity from chemical energy.
