Can you make electricity out of lemons?

Sagot :

Answer: Yes and no. You can use a lemon as a battery to generate electricity, but you cannot "make" electricity out of a lemon.

Explanation: Lemons have citric acid, and acids typically are very grateful and open to receiving electrons. So, if you have good conductors like copper and zinc, the acid will react with the zinc and loosen the electrons allowing them to move towards the copper.

TA-DA. You've just created a battery (a rather weak one) out of a lemon.

I feel like this is more of a chemistry question rather than a biology one, but nevertheless, I hope this helped.
