a lemon cell or a vinegar cell are simple one cell wet cell batteries you can male at home. for either you will need a piece of copper foil and a piece of zinc foil to use for the two plates.
lemon cell
- slice lemon in half
- in one half of the lemon insert the copper & zinc foil plates so they don't touch
vinegar cell
- pour vinegar into a small beaker or glass
- hang the copper & zinc foil plates the edge of the beaker or glass so they are in the vinegar but do not touch
try some other liquids in a beaker or glass like the was used for the vinegar cell. the ones that make operating electric cells are called electrolytes. some suggestions are:
- baking soda solution
- salt solution
- sugar solution
- Orange Juice
- liquid detergent
- hot water
- ice water
- cola
- etc.
if you are using the same beaker/glass and/or plates with different liquids, be sure to wash, rinse, and dry them between experiments.
