Which has more voltage pickle or lemon?
Neither. The voltage depends on the relative electronegativities of the materials in the electrodes, not the electrolyte between the electrodes.
How the parts of a cell interact to produce a current?
In a electrochemical cell or a battery there are two electrodes and an electrolyte. Chemical reaction occurs between the electrodes and the electrolyte which causes one of the electrodes to be positively charged and the next one to be negatively charged. The differences between the two electrodes creates voltage. When the battery is now connected to a circuit it makes a current.
How many volts can a lime produce?
The voltage an electrochemical cell produces does not depend on the electrolyte (e.g. type of fruit), it depends on the two electrodes (e.g. metal strips). The voltage is determined by the relative electronegativities of the two electrodes. For example all cells using a copper electrode and a zinc electrode will produce the same voltage, regardless of the kind of electrolyte they are put into. Another example all cells using a carbon electrode and a zinc electrode produce 1.5 volts, regardless of whether the electrolyte is acidic (the original dry cell batteries), basic (modern alkaline batteries), or neutral (a salt).

Will an aluminum and a zinc electrode in pure water create a current?
If you put two metal electrodes in an electrolyte, such as salt water, electrons will flow from the less-noble metal to the more-noble one. If you use two electrodes of the same metal, there is no difference in nobility so no current will flow.
Which two metals would produce the highest voltage if used for electrodes?
ironi and iron
What is the name of liquid in batteries?
electrolyte When electrodes are placed in an electrolyte and a voltage is applied, the electrolyte will conduct electricity. In batteries, two metals with different electron affinities are used as electrodes; electrons flow from one electrode to the other outside of the battery, while inside the battery the circuit is closed by the electrolyte's ions. Here the electrode reactions convert chemical energy to electrical energy.
Explain the source of signals detected by the electromyogram electrodes?
muscle fibers produce and conduct their own impulses and their conducting of impulses result in voltage differences that can be detected by electrodes.
What influences the amount of voltage that comes out a fruit?
The voltage of any electrochemical cell is entirely dependent on the two different electrode materials, not the type of electrolyte.Take the same electrodes and put them in anything containing an electrolyte: e.g. any fruit, a potato, salt water, baking soda solution, vinegar, and you will get the same voltage from the cell.The relevant property of the electrode materials is called electronegativity.
Does the distance between electrodes affect the voltage?
Not materially. The voltage is determined by the composition of the electrodes and the medium in which they are placed.
Why is there voltage between the electrods of an electrochemical cell?
Chemical reactions occur between the electrolyte and the electrodes in an electrochemical cell. These reactions cause one electrode to become positive to become negatively charged and the other electrode to become positively charged. Since they have opposite charges there is a voltage between them. Basically, The voltage is caused by the electrodes having a different charge and are able to conduct through them.
Describe briefly the method a dry cell battery uses to produce voltage?
A dry cell battery uses two electrodes made of dissimilar metals inserted in a paste like electrolyte. The container of a dry cell battery is made of zinc which is the negative electrode. The carbon rod in the middle of the dry cell battery is the positive electrode. The space between the electrodes is filled with an electrolyte usually manganese dioxide paste. the paste causes a chemical reaction between the carbon rod and the zinc case.
