An electric current is a flow of electric charge, often carried by moving electrons in a wire. It can also be carried by ions in an electrolyte or both ions and electrons. A volatile battery is a type of battery made from two different metals like copper and zinc acting as electrodes, with a citrus fruit acting as an electrolyte. To make one, strip copper wire and a steel paper clip, insert into a lemon about an inch apart, and connect an LED light to see the current.

What is an electric current? An electric current is a flow of electric charge. In electric circuits this charge is often carried by moving electrons in a wire. It can also be carried by ions in an electrolyte, or by both ions and electrons such as in a plasma.

Materials Required : 1. A lemon, or other citrus fruit. 2. 18 (or smaller) gauge copper wire. 3. Wire stripper/clipper. 4. Steel paper clip, small galvanized nail (one that is covered in zinc), or a piece of zinc (ideal)
Procedure : Strip about 2 遜 inches of plastic insulation off the copper wire. Then clip that piece of stripped wire off the main roll. Carefully straighten the steel paper clip. Use the wire clippers to cut it to the same length as the copper wire. Use the sand paper to rub out any rough spots on the wire or paper clip
Roll the lemon gently on a table to break the cell walls and loosen up the juice inside. The sour juice inside is required for chemical reaction. Carefully stick the copper wire about one inch in the lemon. Stick the paper clip, zinc strip into a spot in the lemon above 村 inch away from the copper wire. Make sure the wires dont touch. If they are too far apart, the matter might lose their way. Fix the LED light to both zinc and copper wires.

What is a volatile battery? This a type of battery which is made up of two different metals, which act as electrodes, or places when electrons can enter or leave a battery. Here we are going to make a voltaic battery with the use of citrus fruit i.e. lemon.
