Description
Summary:The idea of fruits battery had been discovered for a long time ago. The reading of voltage and current in fruits had been proved by using multimeter. However, we also want to predict the value of electrical current that can be produced by fruits in mathematical way. The purpose of this project is to determine which citrus fruits produce the most electricity. The characteristics of citrus fruits include high vitamin C, fragrant aroma, thick and juicy flesh, and high of acidic content were a reason they can conduct the electricity and capable to be the power sources. This process can be used to find how much citrus fruits needed to power up small application without using the real experiment. The anticipated outcome of this experiment is the identification of the citrus fruits that could produce the highest electrical current. The findings may be useful in looking up eco-friendly power sources that could replace the current battery. From the result of this process, we can predict the value of electrical current be produced in circuit by using Kirchhoff's second law by calculation. The experiment was set up by referring LRC series circuit which consists of inductor, resistor, capacitor and citrus fruits as power sources.
