Primary Cells: Dry and Mercury Types by neet2008aspirant is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Primary cells, such as dry cells and mercury cells, can only be used once and cannot be recharged. The dry cell consists of a zinc anode and a manganese dioxide cathode with a moist paste electrolyte, commonly used in devices like transistors and clocks. The mercury cell features a zinc amalgam anode and a mercury oxide cathode, suitable for low current devices, with a constant cell potential of 1.35V throughout its life.
