Answer:

Dry Cell : It is a primary cell based on Leclanche cell invented by G. Leclanche in 1868. In a primary cell, the electrode reactions cannot be reversed by an external source of electrical energy. In this cell, the cell reaction takes place only once i.e., this cell is not rechargeable. It is.generally used intorched, transistors, radios, calculators, tape recorders etc. It consists of a hollow zinc cylinder which is filled with a paste of NH .

Voltaic Cell Working. The working principle of voltaic cell depends upon the principle that, whenever two dissimilar metals are immersed inside an electrolyte solution, the more reactive metal will have a tendency to dissolve in the electrolyte as positive metal ions, leaving electrons behind on the metal plate.
