can a potato light a light bulb?

Question

i need to know if a potato light a light bulb and i need details

Answer 1

Place a thick slice of potato on a piece of aluminum foil. Stick a penny edgewise in the top. The top will be + and the bottom will be -. There will be enough power to run a small digital clock. If you can find a 1.5 v light bulb then maybe with a few in series.

Answer 2

No the reason people use potatoes in the light socket to remove a broken off light bulb without getting shocked!!!! I have never heard of it actually lighting. In fact, there is something that stops electricity from passing through

Answer 3

Nope.
The details are that you stick two dissimilar metal electrodes into the potato, with wires attached to them, and with that, you can light a light bulb. The potato isn't doing it; it's the chemistry between the two electrodes.

Answer 4

You need these things

Light bulb (1.5 Volt)
A large potato
Some electrical wire - two small peices of copper wire will do.

Instructions.

1. Find someone hungry who is willing to swap the potato for a
1.5 V battery.

2. Use battery and wires to light the bulb.

Answer 5

No, but something more acidic like a lemon can.
Put a copper and a zinc rod in a cut lemon, connect a lightbulb on to them with wires and it will burn.
Something about molecules going from one rod to another thus inducing a current.

Answer 6
