Electricity gets to a (light) bulb from the socket into which it is screwed or plugged into. The socket has wires attached to it. The wires go back to some sort of switch box, power panel or switchgear (pick the term you like) and back from there to the main power grid - all those wires you see high up on poles and on the big tall towers. Power is supplied to the grid by power generating stations. They make the electricity and put it on the power grid on their end, then you flip a switch and use it on yours.

electricity because a light bulb needs electricity


Does a light still you electricity if there is no bulb?

No, a light fixture does not consume electricity if there is no bulb in it. The bulb is what generates light when electricity passes through it, so without a bulb, there is no circuit to complete and no electricity is being used.


Does a burned out bulb use electricity?

Assuming it's a filament (incandescent) bulb, no. When a bulb burns out, the tiny wire in the bulb is broken, and the electricity can no longer pass through the bulb. It's the same as if it was switched off.


Can a bulb light if electricity doesn't get to the bulb?

No, a light bulb will not light up if electricity does not reach it. Electricity is required to flow through the filament in the bulb to generate light. If there is no electrical current, the bulb will not illuminate.

Where does the electricity go in a light bulb?

Electricity flows through the filament of a light bulb, heating it up and causing it to emit light. The electricity powers the light bulb, allowing it to produce illumination.


From where did Thomas Edison get the electricity for his light bulb?

He didn't get electricity, he studied it and also found men who helped Thomas Edison get electricity for his light bulb


Can electricity pass through a fused bulb?

No, electricity cannot pass through a fused bulb because the filament inside the bulb is broken when it fuses, creating an open circuit that prevents the flow of electricity.


Can electricity still pass through a bulb which has fused?

If the bulb lights up then electricity is passing through the bulb. If the bulb doesn't light up then electricity is not passing through.
