Currents from the Kitchen

  • What kind of circuit will produce electron flow in your fruit/vegetable cell?

A series circuit because there is only one path for the electrons to flow.

  • If your bulb doesn’t glow, how can you find out if electrons are flowing?

The fruit may not allow the electrons to flow. The fruit may act as insulator instead of a conductor

  • If your bulb doesn’t glow, why not?
  • There isn’t enough electricity to create light energy

The electrons from the fruit just don’t create enough voltage to power a lightbulb.

  • How can we modify our experiment to improve our results?

We can use multiple fruits with a higher voltage together in series and maybe that would improve the level of voltage

  • What is causing electrons to flow in this experiment?

The nail and copper wire.

  • How can I use this in my everyday life?

I don’t see this being very practical because there isn’t enough energy to power a tiny bulb so there is defiantly not enough power to light a full sized bulb.
