Explain how your battery works. (You may want to look at lesson 3.02) What are some possible materials you could use to make your battery?
@HeatDude
what battery are you using?
lol idk its just a battery
dont say a spisific one
ok
ok uhm second part of the question: Batteries can be remarkably simple. Potatoes contain enough phosphoric acid to act as an electrolyte and you can use them to make a simple, low-voltage battery. To make a potato battery, you will need a piece of zinc, such as a zinc-plated nail, and a piece of copper, such as a copper wire or a penny. Stick both items into the potato and attach them to whatever you want to power, such as a clock or an LED light. The zinc acts as the anode, the copper acts as the cathode and you have a battery. It will also work with the citric acid in a lemon
that is to make the Potato Battery
Materials Includes: Copper electrodes (3) Zinc electrodes (3) Alligator clip leads (6); each lead has alligator clips on both ends. Color does not affect function and may vary. Digital multimeter with test leads. Piezoelectric buzzer. Red light-emitting diode (LED); a super bright, high-efficiency red LED is needed.
sorry what i wrote first is for the first question, this second one is for the second question
hum idk what to say for the first part
i'll make somthing up xD
first part: How the Potato Clock works A potato battery is an electrochemical battery, otherwise known as an electrochemical cell. An electrochemical cell is a cell in which chemical energy is converted to electric energy by a spontaneous electron transfer. In the case of the potato, the zinc in the nail reacts with the copper wire. The potato acts as a sort of buffer between the zinc ions and the copper ions. The zinc and copper ions would still react if they touched within the potato but they would only generate heat. Since the potato keeps them apart, the electron transfer has to take place over the copper wires of the circuit, which channels the energy into the clock. You have potato power.

lol, i know its not that its like a battery you would use for a circuit
it is used in circuits lol
wha???? really it said nothing in my lesson about that :O
haha that is weird, was the lemon battery in it?
nope xD and ty for all the halp
welcome :)
is that all?
