This blog post is going to be about something that we did in Science.
Voltage - Voltage is the energy that electrons get from a power supply. Voltage is used to make electrical components work, like light bulbs.
Current - The rate of flow of electrical charge across a point.
Aim: To create Voltage out of a lemon.
Method:
- Roll the lemon out so the inside is liquidy.
- Stick pieces of zinc and copper into the lemon.
- Connect the lemon up to a voltmeter.
Results:
This one got one voltage and the one with the whole group in it go 2.4 voltage.
Discussion:
When we rolled it and made the inside liquidy and released all the acidic charged particles. When the
acidic charged particles keeps on moving around, it created a current. When you connect more lemons together, the more acidic it will get.
Conclusion:
I found this experiment really cool because I didn't think that a lemon could produce that much voltage. When the lemon was all by itself, it only produced 1 voltage. But when the whole class came together, the voltage was up to 2.5 which was equivalent to two batteries.
