Citrus fruits are acidic, which helps their juice to conduct electricity.

Make a Fruit Battery
- Set the fruit on a table and gently roll it around to soften it up. You want the juice to be flowing inside the fruit without breaking its skin. Alternatively, you can squeeze the fruit with your hands.
- Insert the zinc and copper nails into the fruit so that they are about 2" or 5 cm apart. You don't want them to be touching each other. Avoid puncturing through the end of the fruit.
- Remove enough insulation from the leads of the light (about 1") so that you can wrap one lead around the zinc nail and one lead around the copper nail. If you like, you can use electrical tape or alligator clips to keep the wire from falling off the nails.
- When you connect the second nail, the light will turn on!
What else can I help you with?
Are alloys conductors of heat and electricity?
Yes, most alloys are good conductors of heat and electricity. This is because alloys are made by mixing different metals together, which creates a structure that allows the flow of heat and electric charge more easily compared to pure metals.
How can electricity be made by using two different metals?
Electricity i.e. a battery, can be made by taking two different metals (maybe that's where your confusion came in) - for example, copper and zinc, and submerging them into a an acid solution (like vinegar). Or you can take those same to metals and stick them into a lemon. If you put a volt meter on the two different metals you will measure a small, but noticeable, current. But to answer your queston, you will not make electricity by rubbing two pieces of metal together.
What Canadian coin conducts electricity?
The Canadian Toonie coin, which is a two-dollar coin, is made of two different metals - an outer ring of nickel and the inner core of aluminum-bronze. The aluminum-bronze core allows the coin to conduct electricity.
What are metals made of?
metals like iron, copper, gold, silver and such cannot be broken down to simpler molecules. They are they're own molecules. If you mean what is their makeup, they're "made" of atoms. Most metals used by industries and people in general are compounds of different elements, which change (obviously) the composion of the metal, for different uses.
Most metals are what?
None are more metallic. Metallic is a way of describing a metal in general.
How do you make eletricity from fruit and vegetables?
Fruit can produce electricity by puting an anode and a cathode in them preferably made from different metals join them to a wire and you will have a current.
How does a fruit clock work?
A fruit clock uses fruits like potatoes or lemons to generate electricity through a chemical reaction called electrolysis. When the juice or moisture in the fruit interacts with electrodes made of different metals, it creates a small electric current that can power a simple clock. The number of fruits and the type of fruit used can affect the amount of electricity produced and therefore the clock's accuracy.
Are alloys conductors of heat and electricity?
Yes, most alloys are good conductors of heat and electricity. This is because alloys are made by mixing different metals together, which creates a structure that allows the flow of heat and electric charge more easily compared to pure metals.

What are wires made from?
Wires are made form many differant types of copper and othe metals. Why is this it is because electricity is atracted to metals
Are coins good or poor conductors of electricity?
Coins are made of metal and metals are good conductors of electricity.
What is electricity in fruit made up of?
Fruit juices contain electrolytes which help the conduction of electricity. A fruit which is very acidic like a lemon will contain more ions which allow the conduction of electricity. This is very general but it's a start
Why are pans made from different metals?
because different metals are better and worse heat conducters
How do you generate electricity from fruit?
Small quantities of electricity can easily be generated from fruit. Simply take two rods, nails, needles or similar which are made of different materials, then stick them into the fruit. Take care that they do not touch each other. A small voltage will appear between the two rods. Citrus fruits work especially well.
Why switches are made of plastic or bakelite and not metals?
Switches are made of plastic or bakelite because they don't conduct electricity.
What is the link between minerals and metals?
The link is that metals are made from different minerals.
