Why there is green spot on potato when electric current passes through it?

this is due to the chemical effect that occurs when electricity is passing through a potato. if noticed the spot always seen near the postive wire.
but the reason for this phenomenon is not known clearly

But i think no one really knows why it occurs,..

1 ) Take a potato and cut it into 2 halves.
2 ) Now form a circuit (if you know how to form one) .
3 ) Place the potato half on the place of bulb .
4) Now switch on the circuit .
5) A green spot would have come on the positive terminal on the potato half (Maybe due to copper?) .

What is a potato clock's electric current?
The current is the zinc ions in the nail reacting to the copper ions in the wire. Without the potato, the ions woudl just generate heat. The potato buffers the current, and the electrons transfer over the copper wires
How does a potato clock work?
A potato can power a clock because all fruits and vegetables have an electric current in them, so the potato's act like a battery and supply the clock with electricity.
How does the size of the potato affect the amount of electricity produced by a potato battery?
SUM RANDOM: larger potato, more current. ME: i thort it was smaller potato mor current ..... meh?
Why does the potato have the most electric charge?
Because it does

Can peeled boiled potato go through osmosis?
yes peeled potato go through osmosis.
What is in a potato to make it a potato battery?
The potato contains moisture that can act as a electrolytic solution. The electric voltage is created by placing to different metals, usually zinc and copper, into the potato. The potato only acts as a place for the reaction to take place. By itself, a potato has no electric value. If zinc is used the reaction follows: Zn → Zn2+ + 2 e-. Note the 2 free electrons produced, this causes the electric potential to develop between the poles of the potato battery. The total voltage produced depends on the metals used but usually peaks under 1v (~0.8v really).
Can a rodent eat through potato chip bag?
Yes, rodents can chew through a potato chip bag.
Can you make electricity using a wire and a magnet?
An electric current is created when a magnet is spun rapidly inside a coil of wire. A turbine (usually powered by water or wind) spins a magnet inside a coil. This action induces an electric current in the coil that can be used to power a light bulb. Hope This Helped!! :D
What happens when current pass throw potato?
it will change it colour
Which fruit or vegetable has the most electric charge in it?
The potato has the most electric charge in it.Use a multimeter to measure the electric charge. Some fruits or vegetables are close to be the most electric charge, but it's not at least high enough compared to the potato I used.Out of all fruits (lemon, apple, banana, etc...), the potato has the most electric charge in it. All the other fruits or vegetables are close, but the potato wins it all! :PYou could use a multimeter to measure the electric charge. Test all the fruits and vegetables to find out what the charge is. :)
