How does a Genecon behave like a battery?
Procedure:
Turn the handle of the Genecon in a direction and speed so that the direction of charge flow and
bulb brightness are the same as a 1-cell, 2-cell, and 3-cell battery. Count the number of turns of
the handle that you make in 10 s for each trial. Repeat three times for 1-cell, for 2-cells and for 3cells.
