How do LEDs & Batteries Work?

How does electricity even do stuff? How do all the LEDs around us work? How do Batteries work? We know it powers everything around us, but what are the mechanics behind it doing something like- producing light? In this episode, we explore how Lemon Batteries produce electricity, and then how we can use that electricity with an LED to generate light! Let's dive into some of the fundamentals around electricity, and learn something fascinating today! Do you want to support in-depth engineering and technology education?
