Lemons are more acidic than potatoes, which allows them to produce more electrons and generate a higher voltage in an electrolyte solution. This higher acidity helps lemons to have a higher power output compared to potatoes when used in a lemon battery experiment.

How does a lemon produce energy?

The fact that acids are sour, that means the more sour a liquid is the more acidic it is. Because a lemon is more sour (acidic) than an orange, it produces more electricity. The more concentrated an acid is the more electricity it produces. NOTE: Please don't taste concentrated acids to test which will produce more energy, it can and will cause major death causing injuries. - [NAME REDACTED] [NEEDS CORRECTION] (Acidity in foods does NOT always correlate to voltage produced.
