Answer
An electrochemical cell that converts chemical energy into electrical energy is a voltaic cell. The dry cell is a type of voltaic cell that uses a paste as the electrolyte. The anode of the dry cell is the zinc container and where oxidation of zinc occurs. The cathode is a graphite rod and is where the reduction of manganese (IV) oxide occurs.
