नींबू बैटरी

खट्टे फल से एक सरल गैल्वेनिक सेल बनाना

Electrochemistry Beginner (Middle School) 20 मिनट ~$5.00

उद्देश्य

रासायनिक ऊर्जा का विद्युत ऊर्जा में रूपांतरण प्रदर्शित करने के लिए नींबू, तांबे के सिक्के और जस्ते की कील का उपयोग करके एक सरल गैल्वेनिक सेल बनाएं।

पृष्ठभूमि

A lemon battery uses the citric acid in lemon juice as an electrolyte. The zinc nail acts as the anode (oxidation) and the copper coin as the cathode (reduction). The potential difference between zinc and copper drives electron flow through an external circuit.

सुरक्षा चेतावनियाँ

  • Do not eat the lemons after the experiment — they contain metal residues
  • Handle sharp nails with care

आवश्यक PPE

goggles

सामग्री

  • Fresh lemons (3)
    Large and juicy
  • Copper coins or strips (3)
    Clean pennies or Cu strips
  • Zinc-coated nails (3)
    Galvanized nails
  • Insulated copper wire (1 m)
    With alligator clips
  • LED light (1)
    Low-voltage red LED

उपकरण

Multimeter Wire strippers Alligator clips

प्रक्रिया

1

Roll each lemon on a flat surface while pressing gently to break the internal membranes and release juice.

2 मिनट
2

Insert a copper coin or strip into one side of each lemon and a zinc nail into the other side. Keep the metals about 3 cm apart.

3 मिनट Handle nails carefully
3

Use the multimeter to measure the voltage across a single lemon cell (between the copper and zinc). Record the voltage.

2 मिनट
4

Connect three lemons in series: zinc of lemon 1 to copper of lemon 2, zinc of lemon 2 to copper of lemon 3.

5 मिनट
5

Measure the total voltage of the three cells in series.

2 मिनट
6

Connect the LED to the free copper and zinc terminals. Observe if it lights up.

3 मिनट
7

Record observations about brightness and voltage over time.

3 मिनट

अपेक्षित परिणाम

Each lemon cell should produce approximately 0.9-1.0 V. Three in series should give about 2.7-3.0 V, enough to dimly light a red LED. The voltage will slowly decrease over time as the zinc is consumed.

सफाई

Remove all metal pieces from the lemons. Dispose of the lemons in the trash (not compost). Wipe down the metal pieces for reuse.
