In this experiment, we used a potato, an orange and a lemon to try to light a led light bulb.
- To produce electron flow, a complete will light the bulb.
- To find out if electrons are flowing, you could use a volt meter to measure it.
- Our light bulb had too high of a voltage, and our fruits/vegetables didn’t produce enough voltage.
- To improve our results, we could use bigger vegetables/fruits or light bulbs with lower voltage levels.
- In this experiment, the transition metals and the crocodile clips cause the electrons to flow.
- If you were camping, or there was power outage or any situation where you were without electricity, you could use these foods are sources of electricity.
- No, because this was discovered a while ago. There are not fruits/vegetables big enough to power a 60 watt light bulb let alone a city or a computer.
Thanks for your lab. Your pictures help the reader to understand how the lab went. Adding details such as the voltmeter’s reading might allow your readers to understand better the differences between the voltage given by the different fruits.
