The anode in a dry cell consists of – (1) Copper (2) Zinc (3) Cadmium (4) Graphite

1 Answer

Answer :

(2) Zinc Explanation: A "dry-cell" battery is essentially comprised of a metal electrode or graphite rod (elemental carbon) surrounded by a moist electrolyte paste enclosed in a metal cylinder. The cathode is composed of a form of elemental carbon called graphite, which serves as a solid support for the reduction halfreaction. A thin zinc cylinder serves as the anode and it undergoes oxidation.
