Answer

Explanation:

When the free ends of a conduction tester are dipped in potato a greenish blue spot is seen around the wire attached to the positive terminal of the battery. This helps in identifying the positive terminal of the cell or battery.

Both the leads of the battery can be dipped into a single piece of potato for long time. After that, it can be observed that there is green coloration near one of the terminals. This is the positive terminal and the other one is the negative terminal.
