You can use a potato as a battery/power source in a very low voltage circuit. Simply pierce one side of the potato with one electrode and the other side with another electrode, completing the circuit. It produces a very low voltage, enough to power say, a calculator display. A lemon will produce slightly more. Alternatively to produce electricity you could MASH and distill the juices from a potato to produce an alcoholic beverage(pocheen usually) then extract the alcohol(ethanol) and burn that in some kind of generaror to produce electricity.

How does food produce conducts electricity?
potatoes
Do potatoes have a electrical current?
Yes, some potatoes are able to produce a little electricity.
How can you prove that potatoes produce electricity?
Easier to prove that they don't
Why don't we use potatoes to save electricity?
because farmers will then probably produce potatoes because it will cost more to buy
Can you use any other metals except copper or zinc to produce electricity from potatoes?
yes
Why does a lemon produce more electricity than a potato?
Lemons are more acidic than potatoes, which allows them to produce more electrons and generate a higher voltage in an electrolyte solution. This higher acidity helps lemons to have a higher power output compared to potatoes when used in a lemon battery experiment.
Can potatoes light light bulbs?
No, potatoes cannot light light bulbs. Potatoes do not produce electricity, which is needed to power a light bulb.
What are some questions on science electricity?
1. what is one food that can produce electricity? Potatoes 2. What is electricity? This question can not be answered it has many different definitions. 3. can you see static electricity? It is very hard to see any kind of electricity.
Do mashed potatoes conduct electricity?
yeah, scientists have figured it out. but its POTATOES not mashed potatoes
Do potatoes have electricity in them?
Yes they do.
Why does lemons potatoes and oranges produce electricity?
Lemons, potatoes, and oranges can produce a small amount of electricity through a chemical reaction when used in a simple homemade battery. This is due to the presence of acidic or alkaline compounds in these fruits and vegetables that enable them to serve as electrolytes in the battery, facilitating the flow of electrons and generating a small electric current.
