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

and unpredictable nature of the conventional chemical batteries‚ along with the frequent replacements that they require‚ has created an acute need for a reliable‚ longer-lasting and rugged source of energy. Moreover Radars‚ spacecrafts‚ interstellar probes and other advanced communication devices require much larger power than that can be met by conventional energy sources. The solution to long term energy source is the nuclear powered batteries which have a life span of few decades and can pack in

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 the environment when batteries are improperly disposed of. When

Introduction In the context of criminal law‚ "assault and battery" are typically components of a single offense. In tort law‚ "assault" and "battery" are separate‚ with an assault being an act which creates fear of an imminent battery‚ and the battery being an unlawful touching. Assault and battery are intentional torts‚ meaning that the defendant actually intends to put the plaintiff in fear of being battered‚ or intends to wrongfully touch the plaintiff. The wrongful touching need not inflict

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 INTRODUCTION TO BATTERIES An electrical battery is one or more electrochemical cells that convert stored chemical energy into electrical energy. Since the invention of the first battery in 1800 by Alessandro Volta‚ batteries have become a common power source for many household and industrial applications. Batteries are represented symbolically as follows Fig. 1(a) Symbolic view Fig.1(b)conventional battery Electrons flow from the negative terminal towards
