There is not much difference in either case.
The voltage can be increased by putting vegetable that you have mentioned in series.
By increasing the voltage, charge can be increased and it can be used to power small light bulbs.

∙ 12y agoWhen two different metals are pushed into a potato a voltage can be measured across the metals. The same is true for many fruits and vegetables.
The reason is that chemicals, normally acids, in the fruits or vegetables react with the metals and generate a voltage. Good metals to try are copper and brass but others are worth using as well. The chemical compositions vary and so does the voltage. Potatoes are known to give a higher voltage than many others.
For those who have the inclination, try various metals and fruits to find the highest voltage. It is this same principle on which batteries are based. Unfortunately, fruit is not quite as good as a purpose made battery so don't expect to be running any high power devices from a lemon when you try it.

Is the lemon battery better than real electricity from power plant?
Lemon battery is better than real electricity from power plant. Lemon battery saves money than paying electricity bills per month.
What is the purpose of the lemon battery?
The use of a lemon battery is a demonstration of what is necessary for a battery to operate. All you need to make a battery is two dissimilar metals and acid. There is not much practical application of the lemon battery. They are not cost efficient for the amount of energy produced. The same with a potato battery potato's have more power than lemons and are easier to make.
Does a potato powered clock work better than a lemon clock?
Yes!! William A. Borst invented the potato clock in 1983.
Potato battery or lemon battery?
You can make a battery out of both a lemon or a potato - if you want to see how just do a net search on "potato battery" or lemon battery. In science we have been conducting an experiment to see which of the fruits/vegetables creates a larger flow of electrons- for us it was the potato so it may make a better battery than the lemon. u make it by putting a penny in a lemon and a nail on different sides, then use a battery meter to see how much electricity the object has.
Is the potato best conductor of electricity than a lemon?
no
Can a potato light a light bulb better than a battery?
i would say no because the battery has a lot of energy to pass to the light bulb and not a pataoe
Can a pear conduct electricity better than a lemon?
Yes! Not many people know this, but it actually can. I had tons of fruits + a potato in my science project, which was to see what would produce the most electricity. My hypothesis, was of course, a lemon, but I came to see that somehow, the pear was higher than everything else, even the potato! With interest, I finished the project.
Are lemon candy's better than lime candy's?
Yes lemon candy's are better than lime candy's
Is lemon tea better than lime tea?
Yes lemon tea is better than lime tea.
Does lemon juice cleans pennies better than bleach?
yes lemon juice cleans pennies better than bleach
What are the thing you can use to make a lemon battery rather than a nail and a penny?
just buy a battery
What would be a hypothesis for a lemon battery?
It depends if your doing a test such as does this _______ and this ________ materials work better than this and this, but im doing my science project and its just the lemon battery just out in the open, showing how it works, so my hypothesis is just will the lemon battery work"?,, and i would answer yes. Hope this helps by the way if that wasn't scientific enough because im only in the 7th grade check out some websites on google:)
