It gets there through a conducting path. The path is most typically comprised
of things like copper wires, but any conductor will do.
The less energy dissipated in the conducting path, the more there is available
for the bulb to dissipate.
That's why you want the path to conduct as well as possible. Silver is best.
Copper is almost as good as silver and a lot cheaper. Wet wood is a poor
choice, and dry wood is even worse. Glass is a terribe conductor.

A complete circuit is made of three things?
If you are talking about the light circuit then : The Battery, The bulb and the wire.
How does a torch work-circuit?
A torch is simply a circuit containing a battery, a bulb and a switch. The three components are connected in series (one after the other) to form a loop. The switch simply completes the circuit so that power flows from the battery to the bulb.
What is an complete circuit?
A circuit is complete whenever current can flow from the battery (or what is producing current), through the circuit, and back to the battery. A complete circuit could contain just a battery and one wire. An incomplete circuit could be a battery with a wire attached to just one terminal, because current cannot flow all the way through the circuit in this case (i.e. cannot flow through the battery). note: not all elements in a circuit may have current flow in a complete circuit. For instance, a light bulb may be shorted but you still have a complete circuit.
What needs to be complete for a bulb to light up in a ciruit?
What needs to be complete is the circuit from the battery to the bulb, then the other wire from the bulb to the other side of the battery.If it is from an outlet rather than a battery, the circuit starts and finishes with the live and neutral pins at the outlet.
Would taking a light bulb from a parallel circuit affect the energy transfer?
Yes, of course. If the light bulb is connected, it takes energy from the circuit. IF it is taken away, it doesn't.
What is the function of a battery in an electric circuit?
To provide electricity for the bulb to light up.
Describe the energy transformations that take place when a battery is connected to a light bulb in a series circuit?
The battery connected to the bulb has the potential chemical energy in it when it is connected by means of wire to the bulb the chemical energy in the battery is converted to the electrical energy which flows through the wire to the bulb glows the bulb which is a form of light energy after some time the bulb starts emitting heat which is heat energy.
A battery and a light bulb in a complete circuit changes electrical energy into what energy?
Light energy (EM visible radiation) plus thermal energy (through heating the bulb filament)
What happens to a bulb when you move it to the battery on a circuit?
It doesn't matter where the bulb is in respect to the battery, as long as the circuit is complete, the bulb will light up.
What happens to a bulb when you move it closer to a battery on a circuit?
The bulb will get brighter
What is the purpose of the battery in the circuit?
The purpose of the battery in a circuit is to wive energy to the circuit
What is close circuit?
Close circuit is a complete circuit of battery wire bulb and a switch
What is made up of a battery a bulb and wires?
Circuit
Where does the energy delivered to a light bulb in a closed circuit with a battery come from?
The energy comes from the chemical activity in the battery producing electricity. Chemical activity produces energy by breaking down chemical bonds. See the link below:
How can the stored energy in a battery be converted to light energy?
By connecting a bulb to the battery.
How many ways can light a bulb with a battery?
You can use a circuit.
When you connect a battery and a bulb and one will not light what is your circuit?
series
