Electricity is produced through dry cell from

A dry cell is a type of electrochemical cell that produces electricity by converting stored chemical energy into electrical energy [3]. Within the cell, spontaneous chemical reactions (redox reactions) occur between the electrodes and the electrolyte. Specifically, the chemical action generates a potential difference between the terminals, which sets electrons in motion to create an electric current when connected to a circuit [2]. In a dry cell, the electrolyte is a thick moist paste rather than a liquid, making it portable and convenient for devices like flashlights and clocks [3]. Unlike thermal, mechanical, or nuclear energy sources, the dry cell relies entirely on the expenditure of its internal chemical components to maintain current flow [2]. Once the chemical reactants are exhausted, the single-use dry cell can no longer produce electricity [3].
