Hand Battery

Electromagnetism

★Exhibit Content: Principle of primary battery, conductivity of conductors ★Interaction: Mechanical interaction ★Operation: 1. Grip the metal rods of different materials on both sides with both hands; 2. Observe the deflection change of the ammeter pointer; 3. Compare the difference in current magnitude generated by different metal combinations. ★Exhibit Description: The exhibit consists of iron rods, copper rods, aluminum rods, an ammeter, a protective casing, etc. Participants grip any one metal rod on each side with both hands and observe the change of the galvanometer pointer, demonstrating knowledge about several conductive materials and the human body being a conductor. The metal rods are divided into two groups, each with three metal rods: iron, copper, and aluminum. The exhibit adopts an interactive and comparative approach. When both hands touch one metal plate each, a primary battery is formed, and a sensitive galvanometer is used to test the current. When current passes through the ammeter, the galvanometer pointer moves; the stronger the current, the greater the pointer deflection. Thus, through interaction, visitors understand the principle of current generation by palm sweat and the reasons for the differences in current magnitude generated by iron, aluminum, and copper rods. ★Scientific Principle: When two different metals (with different electrode potentials) are connected through an electrolyte solution (such as sweat), a redox reaction occurs to form a primary battery, and electrons move directionally through the external circuit to form an electric current. The greater the electrode potential difference between different metals, the stronger the current generated. This exhibit visually presents the current differences among different metal combinations through the deflection amplitude of the galvanometer pointer, helping to understand the working mechanism of a primary battery.
