Introduction
I will be testing if different fruits and vegetables can conduct enough power to create electricity
This question can help save electricity and offer a new way to conduct power. It is also an interesting topic to test on.
The hypothesis states that different produce can conduct enough power to create electricity, because Zinc and Copper (the two elements I am testing) have a certain relationships with one another. Zinc gives its electrons to the copper, which uses the electrons to make a hydrogen gas.

Important words/phrases
Electricity is created in power stations, which contain machines called turbines that turn quickly, using energy. …show more content…
Multimeter: A device used to measure the amount of amperes, volts, and ohms over several ranges of value.
Conductor: Object allowing the transfer of electrons
Insulator: Prevention of an object receiving an electric current.
Resistance: Prevents passage of normal current (light bulb or LED; the object)
Parallel: each resistor or light is independent. If one goes out, the rest still stay one.
Series: each light is dependent on another one. If one goes out, so do the rest.
Scientists discovered potatoes are the best produce to conduct enough power to create electricity because they are rich in electrolytes and ions, have sturdy starch tissue, and can be stored easily. Different fruits rich in electrolytes that are good electrical conductors include strawberries, apples, lemons, corn, and artichokes. Alexander Rabinowitch, an affiliated research scholar,
A fruit is able to conduct electricity because they contain acids that act as salt bridges to conduct the electricity. It then transfers electrons from one to point to another, producing a …show more content…
Usually a short circuit is produced because the power of the plant battery drains, and has a direct path from the positive to negative terminal. Fruits and vegetables can become great electrical conductors because some of them are rich in electrolytes and ions, which creates a great solution for the two elements copper and zinc. Copper is positive, and zinc is negative. The chemical reaction between these 2 elements is converted to electrical energy. From this electrical energy, there is enough power to light up a
