Best Answer

The acidic nature of the lemon juice creates a chemical reaction with lead or another metal inserted into it which causes current to flow in the wire hooked to a low power lamp. The lemon juice is the "electrolyte". The chemical reaction is exactly the same as a simple battery in a flashlight. Like anything else though, it won't last forever..

You can get about 1 volt from a lemon battery, but it can't sustain any meaningful current because of the available free electrons. So hypothetically you would need about 120 lemons, but you would never see any sustained light.

the sourness of the lemon is converted into protons which eminate out of the light bulb. to hook it up just conect 2 wires to the lightbulb and put one in either side of the lemon.

The lemons supply the acid, you also need electrodes. But to get 40 W would need a lot of lemons.

Could batteries light a light bulb?

Yes, even a potato can light a light bulb. Yes. If the batteries match the voltage of the bulb, they can light it. Flashlights have bulbs and batteries that power them. If you mean a household light bulb, then you'd need many batteries in series (80 of the 1.5 volt batteries).

Look on the light bulb for the voltage and the power in watts. Then divide the watts by the voltage and that gives the amps. Some CFL bulbs also state the current as well as the voltage and power, which is because they can have a poor power factor.
