Electromotive Force

Different sources of electromotive force

Lemon or potato 



   In a lemon or a potato, an aluminum wire and copper wire is inserted. By means of a terminal connected between aluminum and copper galvanometer the existence of an electromotive force is found.


A thermocouple Hilo Metal


There is a device having a connection between wires of different materials: copper and tungsten. It can be seen that by heating said junction is a potential difference which circulates through a galvanometer occurs.

A thermocouple wire mesh


There is a device having two metal sheets of different materials. It can be seen that by heating the device a potential difference which circulates through a galvanometer connected to it is produced.


Copper-Zinc battery


Battery CuZn shown in a transparent pyrex. It can be seen as the zinc electrode is worn by the action of sulfuric acid used as electrolyte.

Pila de Volta


It has built a stack composed of copper and nickel coins separated by loose cloth soaked in a saline solution.

Swatch batteries


It has a set of batteries in common use.
