True or False; you can make electricity by sticking a strip of foil and a piecr of copper wire in lemon?

If you can how would you check this out?

You mean aluminum foil. Yes.





Use a high impedance digital voltage meter to make measurements, as currents generated is weak. Analog moving coil type voltmeter has low impedance, may not be able to detect the voltage. True or False; you can make electricity by sticking a strip of foil and a piecr of copper wire in lemon?
As long as the foil is metal, but not copper foil, yes, this will work.





Any two different metals placed so as not to touch each other, in a lemon (or potato, or apple, or dill pickle) will generate a voltage. This can be measured with a voltmeter.





Try either tin foil or aluminium foil (aluminum if you're American).
