Purpose:

What fruit/ vegetable will give off the most electric charge?

 

Hypothesis:

The lemon will give off the most electric voltage because it is citrus and the most juicy.

 

Materials:

  • Lemon, lime, potato, carrot, apple, banana
  • Wire
  • Ammeter
  • Nail

 

Procedure:

  • First we are going stick a copper wire and a nail into our fruit/vegie
  • We will attach both conductors to the ammeter with the wire.
  • Measure the charge.

 

Observations:

  • Lemon: 1v
  • Lime: 0.8v
  • Potato: 0.6v
  • Carrot: 0.5v
  • Apple: 0.5v
  • Banana: 0.3v

 

Results:

The lemon conducted the most charge and the banana conducted the least.

 

Conclusion:

In conclusion our hypothesis was right. The lemon created the most static charge.
