the alligator clips didn’t fully close and sometimes slipped off.
Questions:
What kind of circuit will produce electrons flow in your fruit/vegetable cell?
A series circuit.
If your bulb doesn’t glow, how can you find out if electrons are flowing?
You can see electrons are flowing if your voltmeter moves
If your bulb doesn’t glow, why not?
There is not enough power and electrons aren’t glowing
How can we modify out experiment to improve our results?
Make sure your cords are correctly plugged
What is causing electrons to flow in this experiment?
The cords
How can I use this in my everyday life?
When the power goes out, you can turn on a light bulb.
