Do males or females produce the most electric current?
Abstract
The purpose of this project was to determine whether males or females produce the most electric current. An aluminum plate, a copper plate, a micro ammeter, two lead wires with alligator clips, water, notebook paper, and pencil were used as materials. It was predicted that males would produce a greater electric current than females. To test this hypothesis, the lead wires were connected on one end to the micro ammeter and then one wire was connected to the aluminum plate and the other wire was connected to the copper plate. Five male and female students volunteered to participate. The participant would first place one hand on the aluminum plate and one hand on the copper plate. The reading on the ammeter was noted and recorded on a piece of paper. Then, the participant wet their hands and placed them on the ammeter. That reading was recording. Next, the participant did jumping jacks for one minute. After the minute, the participant placed their hands on the plates again, and the reading was recorded. The experiment was then repeated on the other volunteers. An average of the male readings and of the female readings was calculated for each condition. …show more content…
However, females produced a higher current under readings with wet hands and after exercise. Could humans be the battery of the future?
