Explanation:
The electrons from negative potential of battery through copper wire reach in potato where they undergo in electrolysis of part of copper wire inside the potato in the presence of potato juice . This is the reason of greenish spots in potato on passing current through it
We should not eat a potato after passing electric current through it, because for passing electricity through it or using it as a potato battery electrodes of Zinc and copper are used, which may result in formation of metal salts.
These metal salts in large amount are toxic for human body.
Hence, it is not preferable to eat a potato after passing electricity through it.
