About this project

In this project we are trying to figure out which fruit gives off the most electricity. In this project we used a voltmeter, some wires and a piece of copper and a nail with iron wrapped in nickel. So we measured the volts for each fruit and these are the results.

Potato – 0.3 volts

Dragon Fruit – 0.7 volts

Apple – 0.2 volts

Orange – 0.4

Lemon – 0.8

Banana – 0.5 volts

Conclusion

So for the conclusion, the lemon got the most volts. Which was what i guessed during the prediction! I may have been right about the lemon being acidic and it could give off more electricity. I just looked it up and found out that it is because of the citric acid in the lemon and that the charged particles can flow through the acid. And the apple got the least amount of volts with 0.2 volts. My guess is that the apple, banana and potato didn’t score as well maybe because they don’t have as much liquids inside of it. But also one of my observations is that the orange also has lots of juices like the lemon but it scored a total of half the amount of volts the lemon had. Not sure why that happened.
