It may be able to. You can try disconnecting the battery for a while to let it "build up" some power, at which point the voltage may be sufficiently high to light up the bulb for a short period of time.

How can you use a wire battery and a light bulb to test an item to see if it is a conductor of electricity?

I am going to assume you meant Three wires, Battery and Light Bulb. (punctuation and plurals are important) Hook the light to one post of the battery Hooked from the light to the item being tested (use the other light connection, not the one connected to the battery) connect the other end of the test item to the unused terminal on the battery. Light comes on means it conducts electricity No Light, it does not.
