As the current is generated by the electron flow generated by the phosphoric acid in the potato reacting with the zinc and copper electrodes, I would assume that the apple has a lower pH, generating a more vigorous reaction and causing a higher current. Assuming the resistance is constant, and using Ohms law, the higher current would result in a higher voltage.

What is the voltage of a lemon and lime?

It doesn't, a lemon has more voltage than an apple because a lemon has a higher amount of acidity. The more acidity a fruit has, the more voltage it has. [NEEDS CORRECTION] (Acidity in foods does NOT correlate to the amount of voltage produced. See University of Illinois, Physics Department {Q & A: Fruit Batteries | Department of Physics | University of Illinois}.)


How would differentiate a potato from a sweet potato?

There are 5 major differences between a potato and a sweet potato, only a couple of which are easy to detect. Color - A sweet potato will be darker inside than a potato. Sweetness - A sweet potato has about 4 times the sugar of a potato, enough to detect by taste. Sodium - Although undetectable by taste, a sweet potato has about 10 times the sodium Vitamin A - A sweet potato has more than 1000 times the Vitamin A than a potato Beta-Carotene - A sweet potato has more than 1000 times the beta-carotene than a potato.
