Currents from the Kitchen
- What kind of circuit will produce electron flow in your fruit/vegetable cell?
A series circuit because there is only one path for the electrons to flow.
- If your bulb doesn’t glow, how can you find out if electrons are flowing?
The fruit may not allow the electrons to flow. The fruit may act as insulator instead of a conductor
- If your bulb doesn’t glow, why not?
- There isn’t enough electricity to create light energy
The electrons from the fruit just don’t create enough voltage to power a lightbulb.
- How can we modify our experiment to improve our results?
We can use multiple fruits with a higher voltage together in series and maybe that would improve the level of voltage
- What is causing electrons to flow in this experiment?
The nail and copper wire.
- How can I use this in my everyday life?
I don’t see this being very practical because there isn’t enough energy to power a tiny bulb so there is defiantly not enough power to light a full sized bulb.
