How to Make a Lemon Battery

The video explains the lemon battery experiment, highlighting common misconceptions. It details the setup using a galvanized nail and copper wire, and clarifies that electricity comes from a chemical reaction between zinc and copper, not the lemon itself. The video describes the roles of electrodes and electrolytes, and the chemical reactions involved, including electron flow and hydrogen gas formation. It concludes by demonstrating that multiple setups in one lemon can increase electric current, emphasizing the power source is zinc.
