i dont know some one outside of me please improve this answer it is for my science project

As this is for a science project, it would be wrong to simply give one answer. In fact, there are several things to test when deciding which is the best fruit or vegetable for a battery.

First, take a potato and an orange. Use different types of electrodes - try to get hold of steel, copper, zinc and aluminum. With each pair of electrodes, measure the voltage they produce. Then measure the current they produce. Finally, measure how long each one will operate.

Put the results into a table and then you are well placed to make your own evaluation of the data. The experiments won't take long to do and following the guide above, you will have enough information to get a real answer.

I see no reason either should be better, they both provide the same electrolyte (mostly citric acid).

Does a orange make a better battery than a lime?

The stronger acid will make a better battery. I would imagine that the lime has stronger acid than the orange. This observation is based on the stronger taste that the lime has. I did some online research but did not find any definite conclusion to this effect. See related links, below.

What is the purpose of the lemon battery?

The use of a lemon battery is a demonstration of what is necessary for a battery to operate. All you need to make a battery is two dissimilar metals and acid. There is not much practical application of the lemon battery. They are not cost efficient for the amount of energy produced. The same with a potato battery potato's have more power than lemons and are easier to make.

Potato battery or lemon battery?

You can make a battery out of both a lemon or a potato - if you want to see how just do a net search on "potato battery" or lemon battery. In science we have been conducting an experiment to see which of the fruits/vegetables creates a larger flow of electrons- for us it was the potato so it may make a better battery than the lemon. u make it by putting a penny in a lemon and a nail on different sides, then use a battery meter to see how much electricity the object has.
