 * TESTING HOW MUCH VOLTAGE DIFFERENT TYPES OF FOOD CAN CONDUCT **

The purpose of this experiment was to test what food conducts the most electricity. This experiment was tested with 5 different foods; apples, bananas, limes, oranges, and potatoes. It was hypothesized that the lime would conduct the most electricity because a lime is an acidic fruit and acidic fruits tend to have a higher voltage. To test this experiment, a zinc screw and a steel screw were screwed to a fruit 4 cm apart. The wires from the Digital Multimeter were placed on the screws. The data was recorded and it was tested 3 times with each fruit. The lime and the orange were the foods that conducted the most electricity, both having an average of 1.11 Volts, later came the orange, that had a voltage of 1.03, after, the potato, that had an average of 0.98 V and the food that conducted the least electricity was the banana, that had an average of 0.97 V.
 * ABSTRACT **

**EXPERIMENTAL IMPROVEMENTS AND FUTURE EXPERIMENTS **
This experiment could be improved by testing this experiment with fresh fruit. This experiment was done with food that expires before others, therefore it is better if it is all fresh. This experiment could be extended by testing how temperature affects the conduction of fruits.
