Two nails are fitted on a cork and are kept it in a $100\,mL$ beaker. The nails are then connected to the two terminals of a $6\,V$ battery through a bulb and a switch. Some dilute $HCl$ is poured in the beaker and the current is switched on. The same experiment is then performed with glucose solution and alcohol solution.
