Best Answer

Yes, if your battery has the capacity to match the light bulbs requirements.

A 1.5volt "AA" battery cannot supply enough power to light a 60watt bulb. A flashlight that uses a single battery will have a bulb small enough to be powered by a small battery and a paper-clip as a conductor. A low voltage LED may also be used.

Touch one end of the battery to one terminal on the bulb, and connect the other end of the battery to the other terminal using the clip. (you may find it helpful to use tape to hold it all together)

One lemon will never produce enough to light an incandescent light bulb ... like

a household bulb or a flashlight bulb. It MIGHT be enough to light one LED.

How do you run electric lights off a battery?

Take a Energizer, Duracell, etc. battery (the bigger the bulb the bigger the battery) and a paper clip. Bend up the paper clip to a pretty straight line, and attach one end to the end of the lightbulb. Attach the other end to one end of the battery, and POOF! Light! If the bulb doesn't come on try attaching the paper clip to the other end of the battery. If it STILL doesn't work, get a bigger battery.

Does a spoon conduct electricity?

Easiest way: Go to RadioShack and buy: 12v light bulb and a socket for it with screw terminals 9v battery and battery clip for it The smallest roll of wire they have Two screw-terminal alligator clips Hook this up as follows: Red wire off the battery clip to one screw on the light bulb socket. Put an alligator clip on the black wire Cut off a foot of wire, strip both ends, screw one end to the light bulb socket and the other to the second alligator clip. Install the bulb and battery, and clip the two clips together. Did it light up? If it did, you're ready for the next step. To test the spoon, separate the two alligator clips from each other, and clip the spoon in between them. (You could also just ohm the spoon out with a multimeter, but you need to know how to read one to have that make sense; everyone understands light bulbs.)
