The electrolyte may be either a paste, in which case the cell is called a dry cell, or a liquid, in which case the cell is called a wet cell. The electrodes react chemically with the electrolyte, causing one electrode to give up electrons and the other electrode to accept electrons. The electrodes extend out of the battery for the attachment of wires that carry the current.
