How can you create a lemon battery?

By inserting two different metals, such as copper and zinc, into a lemon. Follow the link at the bottom of this page for an article on making a lemon battery- and why it works.


Could a lemon battery power a motor?

Yes because the acidity level determines the PH level which when steel and copper are hooked into the lemon and hooked onto a battery it will start to charge.


What other metals can you use for a lemon battery?

In addition to copper, which is commonly used as the positive electrode, you can use metals such as zinc, aluminum, or iron for the negative electrode in a lemon battery. Zinc, often found in galvanized nails, is particularly effective due to its electrochemical properties. Aluminum can also work, but it may corrode quickly in acidic environments. Iron can be used, but it may not generate as much voltage as zinc or copper.


What is the science behind fruit batteries?

The acid in an acidic fruit such as a lemon provides the acid much like the acid in a battery, and the copper wire and the galvanized nail works as the negative and positive poles. I hope this answers your question!!!


Why is the lemon battery called the lemon battery?

it is made with lemon acid


How can I make a battery using a lemon?

To make a battery using a lemon, you will need a lemon, two different metals like copper and zinc, and some wires with alligator clips. Insert the metals into the lemon, making sure they don't touch. Connect the wires to the metals and use a voltmeter to measure the voltage produced. This creates a simple battery that can power small devices.


What does a lemon battery do?

a lemon battery generates electricity.a lemon battery can help the society in terms of electricity. the lemon battery can be used in a sudden brown out then it will be fun to do and also it is useful


How do you make a vinegar battery?

The construction of this simple battery. A zinc coated nail (2″ galvanized nail) and length of copper wire (6 cm of 14 gauge copper wire) are suspended in vinegar (4% acetic acid). A discarded film container is ideal for this project The copper lead is the "+" terminal of the battery and the galvanized nail is "-". According to the voltmeter, this vinegar battery is producing 0.834 volts. This battery still only produces a tiny current. Connect more batteries in series to increase voltage and current flow.


Will alloys like copper aluminum iron and tin acting as positive and negative terminals affect the voltage of a lemon?

What is your hypothesis of your lemon battery project?

The hypothesis of the lemon battery project is to demonstrate how a galvanic /voltaic battery works. The insertion of two different metals (used as anode and cathode) into the lemon (acting as the ion bridge) produces an electrochemical reaction which generates a small potential difference, resulting in a current if the circuit is completed.


How can a lemon be used as a battery?

you put a nail with zinc on it in one side of the lemon and make a slot for a copper penny in the other side of the lemon. the penny is the + side of the battery and the nail is the - side of the battery.


How do you make a working model of an electric current for a science project?

You can do a lemon battery experiment. You insert a galvanized nail in one side of the lemon and on the other side insert a copper wire. Connect a volt meter to the nail and the copper and it will show the presence of an electric current.
