Abstract

This experiment tested how much electricity certain citrus fruits and one non citrus fruit, conduct. Zinc galvanized nails and copper wires were connected to a multi-meter and one fruit at a time to measure the voltage conducted. The hypothesis was that the lemon would conduct the most electricity. The results did support the hypothesis with the lemon conducting the most electricity. Even though this can conduct electricity it is a very inefficient way to do so. The independent variable is the fruit. The dependent clause is the voltage levels.
