A potato battery is a type of electrochemical cell. An electrochemical cell converts chemical energy into electrical energy. In the potato battery‚ there is a transfer of electrons between the zinc coating the galvanized nail that will be inserted into the potato and the copper wire that will be inserted another part of the potato. The potato conducts electricity‚ yet keeps the zinc ions and copper ions separate‚ so that the electrons in the copper wire are forced to move (generate current). It’s

when you put zinc in copper II sulfate? • What will happen when you put copper in copper II sulfate? Predictions: • We can predict that zinc will react with the aqueous solution of copper II sulfate and we will notice a reaction. We can also predict that the copper will not react with the solution of copper II sulfate and no reaction will be noticed. Hypothesis: • It is hypothesized the zinc metal will have a precipitation reaction with the solution of copper II sulfate‚ because zinc is more reactive

POTATO BATTERY Abstract a. Purpose To lessen the consume of electric charge b. Procedure We insert copper and zinc electrodes in to the potato‚ close but not touching each other. We use Clip leads to connect our electrodes to the Multimeter to measure voltage between two electrodes or current passing through the multimeter. For this experiment we removed the shell of a broken AA battery for our Zinc electrode. (Make sure to test your multimeter by connecting its Positive and Negative

Using Fruits ( Lemon‚ Orange ) As Battery Purpose To demonstrate how an electrical current can be generated using citrus fruits (such as lemons or limes) that is strong enough to power a small light bulb. Additional information Batteries are devices that store chemical energy and convert it to electrical energy. Consisting of one or more voltaic cells‚ batteries come in various sizes and forms and are integrated into most electronic and portable devices. Electrical current is the flow

Science Investigatory Project I Title: Potato Battery II Objective: We only need a potato‚ a couple nails and a piece of wire to make a potato battery. It’s a fun science project that helps show the way things work in a battery by using everyday items we see around the house. The goal is to learn more about electricity‚ and possibly a few new science terms along the way. III Materials: * Two Potatoes * Two short pieces of heavy copper wire * Two common galvanized nails * Three alligator clip/wire
