Ever thought about making a battery would food? Don't think its possible? Let's find out!!
Materials Required:
1) 2 Galvanised nails
2) 2 Copper nails
3) 3 Jumper Wire
4) A clock with only 1 Battery required

Instructions
- Insert a galvanised nail at one end of both the potatoes.
- Now, insert the copper nail, at the other end of both the potatoes. Make sure the nails do not touch.
- Now, take the first potato and connect a jumper wire, connecting the copper nail and the POSITIVE terminal of the battery compartment of the clock.
- Connect the other jumper wire to the galvanised nail of the second potato and the NEGATIVE terminal of the battery compartment of the clock.
- Connect the third wire to the galvanised nail of the first potato and the copper nail of the second potato.
- Now the circuit has been completed, the clock would be running.
CONCEPT: A potato battery is an electrochemical batteryl. An electrochemical battery is a battery in which chemical energy is converted to electric energy by a spontaneous electron transfer. Hence electricity is generated (with movement of electrons) and the clock starts.
