Our project consisted of 10 different fruits and veggies where we were making fruit batteries. We were testing the voltages using zinc and copper electrodes and the results were around 0.7 - 1.02 volts. We decided to juice the fruits and test them in liquid form which turned out around the same. Then, we combined all the fruits together in liquid form and we'd expected the voltage to increase to 3.0 - 4.0 volts but the results were 0.7 - 1.0 volts, as it would be with one idividual fruit. Why didn't the voltage increase as we originally thought?
Re: When all fruits were combined, why'd it produce the same voltage as one?
