Lemon juice is an electrolyte. Electrolytes conduct electricity when in a solution of water

∙ 10y agoA lemon is just a facilitator, and what really produces electricity is the copper and zinc molecules inside. Zinc becomes negative; It dissolves inside the lemon to make ions. Copper becomes positive. It collects positive (hydrogen ions from the acid) ions inside the lemon. Lastly, the lemon is acid. Acid can dissolve metals to make ions. Ions in turn can add or give off electrons, which contributes to the flow of electricity.

∙ 14y agoThe acid in a lemon, citric acid, can be used in a simple experiment to create an electrochemical cell and provide some electricity. If you go to YouTube and put in "Create a Lemon Battery" to view one. There are also other vids there that are similar. Why not view this one and some related posts to expand your knowledge?

Push two wires or pieces of metal into the lemon. The wires or metal strips MUST be made of different metals. Typically try iron and copper, but you can experiment with different metals.
The acid in the lemon will form the electrolyte, which reacts with the metal electrodes. This makes a single cell and may only produce about 1 volt, with limited current capability.
Typically it can be proven to work, by powering up a small low current device, such as an LCD watch, or clock.

Can lemon have elctricity?
Lemon juice can conduct electricity.
Can a banana conduct electricity?
yes it does and a lemon
Will a lemon conduct electricity?

Will lemon conduct electricity?
if lemon juice is diluted with water i.e. by electrolysis
Does lemon juice conduct electricity?
Yes, because the lemon juice is so strong there is no chance that it cannot conduct electricity, this answer is science proven and if you type in the exact key words you can do an experiment with a lemon that conducts electrons which makes electricity. Great question!
How does lemon acid conduct electricity?
because of the power in the acid
Which will conduct electricity better lemon or potato?
A Lemon because more acid btw hii !:) Amanda cristian isaih
Does lemon juice conduct electricity better in water than vinegar?
Yesh it canz
Why does a potato conduct more electricity than a lemon?
Because of the acids and substances that are made in it.
Can lemon juice conduct electricity and how?
Lemon juice is acid. Acids dissociate in water into conductive ions - a positively and negatively charged ion. These are the particles that conduct current thorugh the liquid - not as well as metals, but well enough.
