Y12 Investigate Potato Batteries

January 30, 2026

This week, Year 12 A-Level Physics students have been constructing and investigating potato batteries.

They built electrical circuits and applied what they have learned this year about using multimeters, variable resistors and circuit design. Using the data they collected, students will now determine the electromotive force, internal resistance and maximum power output of their potato batteries. Great work everyone, well done!
