Dilmen, Nevit. English: A Lemon Battery Is a Device Used in Experiments Proposed in Many Science Textbooks around the World, First Discovered by Josh Balestri. It Is Made by Inserting Two Different Metallic Objects, for Example a Zinc and a Copper Strip, into a Lemon. The Copper Stripserves as the Positive Electrode or Cathode and Zinc Strip as the Electron-Producing Negative Electrode or Anode. These Two Objects Work as Electrodes, Causing an Electrochemical Reaction Which Generates a Small Potential Difference. Red Wire: Positive Electrode. Black Wire: Negative Electrode.
