Currents in the Kitchen – Results

For the exeriments, me and two other classmates of mine only got to test out two different fruits(Apple and Orange), because we were not at school the day we originally did the experiment. we also didn’t get to try to use the fruits to power a light bulb.

What kind of Circuit will produce electron flow in your fruit cell?

I am pretty sure that the type of circuit that would make electron flow in the cell is a closed circuit.

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

You can tell if you just hook the cords up to a voltmeter.

If your bulb doesn’t glow, why not?

I am make an educated guess and am going to say that the reason is because you fruit or vegetable is not producing electricity.

What is causing electrons to flow in this experiment?

The electrons from the fruit juice are guided by the copper to the wire, which is hooked up to the voltmeter. The electrons go through the volt meter and come out the other wire and is guided back to the fruit by the nail. This causes the circuit to become a closed circuit.

How can I use this in my everyday life?

If I become absolutely desperate in a power outage and I need some form of light and my phone and flashlights are all dead then I would be able to power a light bulb with a fruit or vegetable.

Currents from the Kitchen – Preditions

I think that a potato would make the biggest electric charge, because they contain the high amounts of electrolytes, and is known for powering clocks.
