Which is used as an electrode in a dry cell?
Which is used as an electrode in a dry cell?
A: Lead
B: Molybdenum
C: Graphite
D: None of these
In a dry cell battery; graphite serves as the cathode (positive electrode); typically a carbon rod; due to its conductivity and stability. Lead is used in lead-acid batteries; not dry cells; and molybdenum is not standard. This question tests knowledge of basic battery components; with graphite being the correct answer; confirming option C.
