Answer:
Zinc is a commonly used metal for anodes in batteries. The nail reacts with the electrolyte, which is contained in the flesh of the potato. The electrons travel through the wire to light up the light bulb, and then flow back to the anode, the thick copper wire.

Explanation:
Electricity has become a necessity in many different aspects in a person’s life. Electricity occurs when the number of protons or electrons in an atom are too high, causing the attraction to particles of the opposite charge. This is how an electrical current occurs. Generally, people know that the electricity that powers their homes come from power plants. However, if all other methods fail one day, there is a way to generate electricity using a general household grocery item: a potato.
Potatoes are a mix of starch and salts. Electric current is conducted between two metals inserted in the potato by forming a salt bridge between them. This occurs because the salt in the potato releases ions, allowing them to travel through the wire connecting the two metals.
