How Does A Lemon Battery Work?

Lemons contain a lot of electrolytes, this acid helps brake down the atomic structure of the copper and seel that you would place in the lemon if doing this experiment. Once the copper and steel has broken down, this causes electrons to be released. The paper clip and copper then become electrodes. Electrodes allow the electrons to flow freely through them. These free flowing electrons usually flow from negative to positive. In this experiment the copper is the possitive and the paper clip is the negative. The movement of these electrons are measured in voltage. The faster the electrons travel the more energy they will produce. One lemon does not have enough electrolytes to light up a lightbulb. If you get a small multimeter you are able to get a voltage rating in the tenths place. In order to make a lemon power a lightbulb, you would have to have about four lemons and a small lightbuld. This many lemons connected together would cause a high enough voltage rating that the light bulb would light up.

Like i have a science project due today on the lemon battery and i dont know if it will work????????
