A battery is basically 2 metals separated by acid (which is used as an electrolyte). All you have to do is to place 2 metal plates (made out of certain metals) inside the fruit, and connect them into an electric circle. You'll see it produces weak but noticeable voltage.

How do you get a 1998 Honda Accord to start when battery is good but all it does when tring to start is make a small clicking sound?

It sounds like a bad cable connection at the battery/starter solenoid/ or the starter solenoid is bad. Check these areas. It could still be the battery. Check the voltage at the battery then try to start the engine. If the voltage drops below about 10 or 11 volts, the battery does not have enough of a charge. Try a battery charger for a while and see if you can get enough of a charge to start the engine. If the voltage is up when you try to start the engine, check the battery post connections. See if you have voltage THERE when you try to start it. Sometimes a corroded battery terminal will act the way you described. If that isn't it, check the connections to the starter. If you have good voltage to the starter when you try to start it, the starter is probably bad.


Can an apple act as a battery?

ANSWERIt can produce electricity, you just plug in probes of dissimmilar metal. Try copper and steel. The acid in the battery will react with the metals and produce a small current.Probably only enough, individually, to power an LCD watch.


Whose law state that the induced voltage will produce a current that always act oppose the change that originally caused it?

It is the Micheal Faraday's law of electromagnetism.

Will a household AC electrical power mains adaptor act as a battery charger also?

THIS COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS: DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT TRYING IT! As mains adapters were not designed to be used that way the safest answer is to say NO. It all depends on the type of adapter, the voltage and type of current that the adapter produces. Some of them produce alternating current (AC) at a low voltage which is then converted again within the appliance being supplied with the power. (MP3 player, mobile phone, TV, whatever.) AC is useless for charging a battery - if you tried using one of those adapters to do it the AC current might cause the battery to explode... Similarly, although some adapters produce direct current (DC), the voltage may be too high or too low to charge a particular battery, which might cause the battery to explode... SO, AS THIS COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS: DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT TRYING IT!

What is the solution potential of a potato?

A tomato by itself wouldn't ahve any voltage. But it's kinda acidit so if you stuck say a piece of copper and a piece of zinc in it, it'd act as a crude battery and you'd probably get a voltage.


Do you add electrical supply voltage and induced voltage of a coil to get total voltage on the coil?

The induced voltage acts to oppose any change in current that is causing it. So, if the current is increasing, then the induced voltage will act in the opposite direction to the supply voltage; if the current is decreasing, then the induced voltage will act in the same direction as the supply voltage.

Why does potato work as a battery?

A single object is called a cell; a battery consists of multiple cells. It works because the potato can act as a electrolytic substance, allowing current flow. However, the potato alone does not actually cause the current or voltage; it is the metals you use, which create a galvanic reaction.


What criteria determine the seriousness of battery?

The actual act, meaning how bad the person was hurt. Then there is intent, or weather the perpetrator was trying to hurt the victim. If it is done with intent to kill or with a dangerous weapon it is aggravated battery, and the sentence can be greater.
