What is the purpose of the lemon battery?
The use of a lemon battery is a demonstration of what is necessary for a battery to operate. All you need to make a battery is two dissimilar metals and acid. There is not much practical application of the lemon battery. They are not cost efficient for the amount of energy produced. The same with a potato battery potato's have more power than lemons and are easier to make.
What are the thing you can use to make a lemon battery rather than a nail and a penny?
just buy a battery
Lemon battery and its importance in society?
Batteries contain acid that is very corrosive, and horrible for the enviroment. If the lemon battery can be taken further, it might eliminate the use of batteries.
Could a lemon battery power a motor?
Yes because the acidity level determines the PH level which when steel and copper are hooked into the lemon and hooked onto a battery it will start to charge.
How can a make a lemon light up a light bulb?
lemon can power a light bulb b'coz lemon contains citric acid which can serve as an electrolyte if the connections r complete it undergoes elecrolysis & sets up an electrolytic cell.
What citrus fruit provides the most power in a citrus-powered battery?
you can use lemon, orange or any citrus fruits. But, the lemon gives off most acid causing more electricity. much better to use a lemon.
How do you make electicity with fuit?
You can use the acid in the fruit as the electrolyte in a battery In other words if you stic two pieces of wire in a piece of fruit , say a lemon you have made a battery an there will be a potential difference causing an electric current from one wire to the other if they make contact.
Have you ever made a cake with just vanilla cake mix and a diet lemon lime soda?
No. First you shouldn't use lemon soda, you can use lemon juice or lemon extract to add flavour. Also I don't think that vanilla and lemon would agree with each other, use one or the other.
How do you light a light bulb with a lemon?
You would need two sets of electrodes made from two different metals, preferably from opposite ends of the Periodic Table. You put the electrodes out from each other on the top of the lemon. Then you would connect the lemons together in series, alternating the metals you use. For instance, you would connect the copper electrode of one lemon to the zinc electrode on the next lemon. You might need 6-9 lemons, depending on the voltage. You might do better to use a LED instead of a regular bulb, since they draw less current. You can test your lemon cells using a voltmeter to get the polarity and the amount of voltage.

Does the lemon battery experiment really work?
Yes, the acidic lemon juice works as a conductor between a negatively charged metal and a positively charged metal to create a battery.
What can you use as a substitute for lime?
Lemon, orange, grapefruit, satsuma or any other citrus fruit
