How many potatoes does it take to change a light bulb?
You wouldn't use a potato to screw in a light bulb... if the glass in the light bulb breaks as you're removing it, you can use a potato to take the light bulb out.
How can a tomato light a light bulb?
i think you mean potato... You can from a potato or super tomato
Could batteries light a light bulb?
Yes, even a potato can light a light bulb. Yes. If the batteries match the voltage of the bulb, they can light it. Flashlights have bulbs and batteries that power them. If you mean a household light bulb, then you'd need many batteries in series (80 of the 1.5 volt batteries).
What materials do you need to make a potato light up a light bulb?
Dissimilar metals with very different electronegativities as electrodes (copper and zinc are two good choices), wiring to complete a circuit, a light bulb that does not take very much voltage to light, a potato, and something else to eat for lunch.
How does a potato lamp work?
The potato lamp works because the acid in the potato lights up the light bulb.
How can I perform a light bulb replacement when the bulb broke off at the base?
The best way to remove a blub that has broken off at the base is to use a raw potato. Cut the potato in half and, with the light switch turned off, shove the raw edge of the potato onto the socket. The potato should grip the broken portion of the bulb and allow you to twist the bulb out easily. Replace the bulb as you would normally after making sure all potato residue is removed from the light socket.
Can different wires affect the brightness of a potato powered light bulb?

Can a potato light a light bulb better than a battery?

What are the advantages of a potato powered light bulb?
Save your cell battery
What are the instructions for powering a light bulb using a potato?
theres no such thing as that.
Are you supposed to wrap the copper wire around the light bulb when making a potato powered light bulb?
You have to connect one conductor from potato to one terminal on light bulb and the other to the second conductor. Your light bulb must be a low voltage and low current bulb because a potato delivers very little power. Light bulbs that screw in would have one connection point on the screw in part and one at the bottom of the base of the bulb. It would be best to put the bulb in a socket that would allow easier connection of wires instead of trying to wrap the wire around the bulb.
What inside the potato that powers the light bulb?
The acid and salt (which is in the juice of a potato) chemical energy that turns intoelectricity.
