### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Leclanché Cell**: - The Leclanché cell, commonly known as a dry cell, is a type of electrochemical cell that converts chemical energy into electrical energy. It consists of a positive terminal (cathode) and a negative terminal (anode). 2. **Identifying Components**: - In a Leclanché cell, the positive terminal is typically made of a carbon rod, which is surrounded by a mixture of manganese dioxide (MnO₂) and carbon. The negative terminal is usually made of zinc. ...
