When 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.
What else can I help you with?
Which has more voltage a orange or a potato?
An orange.
What has more voltage a pickle or potato?
pickle
What is the average voltage in a small potato?
Their is no specific answer because of the shape of potato the average can be .85
Does the starch in the potato create the voltage?
yes
What has more voltage lemon or potato?
A Lemon because more acid btw hii !:) Amanda cristian isaih
What has more mass a potato or potato chip?
Since you can make many potato chips out of one potato, obviously a whole potato has more mass than one potato chip.

How can you measure the power or voltage of a potato clock?
A voltmeter would measure the voltage. If you measure the voltage drop over a known low resistance you get a kinda-sorta idea of the power available.
Which has more lipids potato or onion?
potato has more lipids content.
What is the solution potential of a potato?
A tomato by itself wouldn't ahve any voltage. But it's kinda acidit so if you stuck say a piece of copper and a piece of zinc in it, it'd act as a crude battery and you'd probably get a voltage.
Can you make a radio from a potato?
Yes, you can create a simple radio using a potato as a component in a basic circuit, often referred to as a potato radio. The potato acts as a battery, providing some voltage when combined with two different metals, like copper and zinc. However, the reception and audio quality will be very limited, and it's more of a fun science experiment than a practical radio. For a functioning radio, more sophisticated components are usually required.
Why does an apple have more voltage than a potato?
As the current is generated by the electron flow generated by the phosphoric acid in the potato reacting with the zinc and copper electrodes, I would assume that the apple has a lower pH, generating a more vigorous reaction and causing a higher current. Assuming the resistance is constant, and using Ohms law, the higher current would result in a higher voltage. Quote from the discussion above. The credit goes to username Barks134.
