Hedef

Kimyasal enerjinin elektrik enerjisine nasıl dönüştüğünü göstermek için limon, bakır madeni para ve çinko çividen basit bir galvanik hücre kurmak.

Arka Plan

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.

Güvenlik Uyarıları

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

Prosedür

1

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

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 dak Handle nails carefully
3

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

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 dak
5

Measure the total voltage of the three cells in series.

6

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

7

Record observations about brightness and voltage over time.

Beklenen Sonuçlar

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.

Temizlik

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