POTATO BATTERY Abstract a. Purpose To lessen the consume of electric charge b. Procedure We insert copper and zinc electrodes in to the potato‚ close but not touching each other. We use Clip leads to connect our electrodes to the Multimeter to measure voltage between two electrodes or current passing through the multimeter. For this experiment we removed the shell of a broken AA battery for our Zinc electrode. (Make sure to test your multimeter by connecting its Positive and Negative

POTATO INTO BATTERY Abstract a.Purpose To lessen the consume of electric charge b. Procedure We insert copper and zinc electrodes in to the potato‚ close but not touching each other. We use Clip leads to connect our electrodes to the Multimeter to measure voltage between two electrodes or current passing through the multimeter. For this experiment we used a galvanized nail for our Zinc electrode. c. Result It did go well and the potato did give voltage to the equipment (clock) However‚ the

Potato Battery Chapter I: Introduction I. Background of the Study Do you have like 500 unused sacks of potatoes and don’t know what to do with it? Does your low class battery always die out on you at the exact moment you look at the last digit of you clock? If you answered yes‚ then here is the solution to your problem! Potato batteries are designed for you! So why do you spend so much money in buying new batteries for your digital clock if you can use the alternative resource. II. Statement

Chapter 1 THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND Introduction: People are using more and more household batteries. The average person owns about two button batteries‚ ten normal (A‚ AA‚ AAA‚ C‚ D‚ 9V‚ etc.) batteries‚ and throws out about eight household batteries per year. A battery is an electrochemical device with the ability to convert chemical energy to electrical energy to provide power to electronic devices. Batteries contain heavy metals such as mercury‚ lead‚ cadmium‚ and nickel‚ which can contaminate

Group 2 Science Investigatory Project I Title: Potato Battery II Objective: We only need a potato‚ a couple nails and a piece of wire to make a potato battery. It’s a fun science project that helps show the way things work in a battery by using everyday items we see around the house. The goal is to learn more about electricity‚ and possibly a few new science terms along the way. III Materials: * Two Potatoes * Two short pieces of heavy copper wire * Two common galvanized nails

those in the province‚ the researcher came up with the study entitled “Potato Battery”. Two new sources are fruits and vegetables. These are organic and can easily be bought at farms and markets. One of these is the use of potato but not all fruits and vegetables are usable. Potato had been considered due to it’s high content of phosphoric acid. B. Statement of the problem This study basically aims to find out whether a potato could be able to produce enough power to light up a bulb. And if it

A potato battery is a type of electrochemical cell. An electrochemical cell converts chemical energy into electrical energy. In the potato battery‚ there is a transfer of electrons between the zinc coating the galvanized nail that will be inserted into the potato and the copper wire that will be inserted another part of the potato. The potato conducts electricity‚ yet keeps the zinc ions and copper ions separate‚ so that the electrons in the copper wire are forced to move (generate current). It’s

Science Research Paper: “Potato Battery” I. Problem a. Main Problem This study aims to prove whether fruits and vegetables are good reserves of electricity. The potato‚ known for its high Phosphoric Acid and Sulfuric Acid‚ has been as our chosen fruit to prove and conduct our answers upon the accessibility of fruits and vegetables as an effective renewable energy source. b. Sub-Problems To further provide extra and specific information‚ the researchers have decided to add the following
