In a fruit battery what is in the fruit to help generate electricity?
Nothing.The fruit does not generate the electricity. The differing electrochemical potentials of the metals used generate the electricity; the fruit is just there to provide a conductive path and some electrolytes.
Can a cucumber fruit extract be able to produce electricity?
Yes. Electricity will be produced wherever two different metals are immersed in an electrolyte. In this case, the fruit or vegetable juice acts as the electrolytic solution that allows ionic motion. Lemons and Potatoes are well known fruits and vegetables that work as a battery and a cucumber has much of the same properties. To ensure the best result, make sure you use a zinc and a copper wire to plug into the cucumber. Other metals will work and you can find lists which give information about which metal are most dissimilar. This is called a galvanic series.
What fruit that can be a source of electricity?
lemon and orange
What are outcomes of experiments using citrus fruits and electricity?
Usually experiments containg fruit and electricity are ones were you have you fruit and you put to copper poles into it and connect it with wires to a bulb for example and the bulb will light up, getting its power from the fruit.
What fruit makes the most electricity?
Lemons make the most
How do you make eletricity from fruit and vegetables?
Fruit can produce electricity by puting an anode and a cathode in them preferably made from different metals join them to a wire and you will have a current.
What can the electricity produced by a fruit battery be used for?
Future sources of electricity?

Can you charge a phone with fruit?
yes you can because the acid from the fruit is produced to make electricity which will charge any device :)
Which fruits and vegetables produce electricity?
First, fruits don't "produce" electricity, but they create acids. These acids, in combination with metals in the fruit circuit are the reason electricity is produced. Electrolytes are salts like magnesium, sodium, potassium, etc that are a result of one of these acids dissolving into a solution, leaving them as ions. These ions carry charges and this is what allows the electricity to flow. Citrus fruits usually contain more electrolytes than others and because of their higher concentration of ions, more electricity flows through.

How does electricity affect fruit?
fruit sitting under electricity such as light causes the fruit to melt
When measuring electricity with fruit does the ripeness matter?
You cannot 'measure' electricity with fruit.
What is a problem question for a science project using chemicals in fruit to produce electricity?
What fruit or vegetable will produce the most electricity
How does electricity travel through fruit?
If enough protons and neutrons are in the fruit it can produce electricity
How can you conduct electricity with fruit?
the acid holds electricity
How is electricity able to come from a fruit?
Electric current comes from anything with differences in charge. So if you connect a fruit to something with a different potential, current will flow.
