Question

Zinc is used to make dry cells and electrodes.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Dry cell:

• A dry cell is usually made from Zinc$\left(\mathrm{Zn}\right)$ which serves as the anode with a negative electrical polarity, while the inert Carbon$\left(\mathrm{C}\right)$ core is the positive electrical pole cathode.
• Zinc–carbon dry cells are single-use primary cells.
• In a dry cell the Carbon$\left(\mathrm{C}\right)$ Core top acts as the positive terminal.

Thus, the given statement is True. i.e., Zinc is used to make dry cells and electrodes.
