The voltage produced by the two metals in water is typically lower than when they are placed in fruit. This is because the acidic or electrolyte properties of the fruit enhance the electrochemical reaction between the metals, allowing for a more efficient flow of electrons. In contrast, water generally has a lower concentration of ions, resulting in reduced conductivity and, therefore, lower voltage generation.

What is the voltage of a pear?

If you are referring to a 'fruit cell' then, in common with all cells, the voltage is determined by the materials from which the electrodes are made -not by the fruit itself. The further apart the metals are on the 'electrochemical series' of elements, the higher the resulting voltage -so, for copper and zinc, the voltage will be about 1.1 V.


How do you get higher voltage from a fruit battery?

use a metals further away from each other on the reactivity series (I think). but using more electrolytes (more fruits i.e. 4 lemons instead of 1 etc) will definitely give a higher voltage. the more fruit, the bigger the voltage. :D


How can a fruit act as a battery to produce voltage?

A battery is basically 2 metals separated by acid (which is used as an electrolyte). All you have to do is to place 2 metal plates (made out of certain metals) inside the fruit, and connect them into an electric circle. You'll see it produces weak but noticeable voltage.


What is the voltage of a lemon and lime?

It doesn't, a lemon has more voltage than an apple because a lemon has a higher amount of acidity. The more acidity a fruit has, the more voltage it has. [NEEDS CORRECTION] (Acidity in foods does NOT correlate to the amount of voltage produced. See University of Illinois, Physics Department {Q & A: Fruit Batteries | Department of Physics | University of Illinois}.)


Why does a potato have more voltage?

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 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.


What fruit could you compare yourself with and why?

compare yourself into apple and why ?


Why is the potato a better battery than the lemon?

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.


What could you compare the Earth's crust to?

You could compare it to the skin of a fruit.


Why do placing two dissimilar metals in a fruit produce an electric current?

Placing two dissimilar metals in a fruit creates a chemical reaction that generates a flow of electrons, resulting in an electric current. This process is known as a fruit battery, where the acidity of the fruit acts as an electrolyte to facilitate electron transfer between the metals.


Does the size of the fruit effect the voltage?

The size of the fruit does not effect the voltage. If you're making a light, the size can effect how long it lasts. The greater the size, the longer it will last
