A dry cell is a type of electrochemical cell that converts chemical energy into electrical energy. It is called "dry" because it uses a paste or solid mixture of electrolyte, rather than a liquid electrolyte, making it portable and less likely to leak. Dry cells are commonly used in batteries for various devices, such as flashlights, remote controls, clocks, and many small electronic devices.
