Electric bulb is basically an insulating device. By calling it an insulating device it does not mean that it completely disallows the flow of electricity! It means that the device or object resists the flow of electricity to some extent. It has a coil of a metal called Tungsten which resists the flow of electricity. Due to this resistance the coil heats up immensely and glows hot. However, this coil of Tungsten does allow some electricity to pass through so that the circuit of electrical flow remains closed/complete and the electric bulb remains lighted.
What else can I help you with?
Explain how you can test whether something is an insulator or conductor?
You can test if something is an insulator or conductor by connecting a circuit with a power source and a light bulb. If the material allows the light bulb to turn on, it is a conductor. If the light bulb does not turn on, it is an insulator.
Is a glass bulb a conductor or insulator?
A glass bulb is an insulator because it does not easily allow the flow of electricity through it. The glass material used in the bulb has high resistance, preventing the movement of electrical charges.
Why is a bulb a conductor?
A bulb is not a conductor; it is actually an insulator. The glass or plastic casing of the bulb acts as a barrier to prevent the flow of electricity, allowing the electrical current to pass through the filament inside the bulb to produce light.
Is a light bulb an insulator or conductor?
It is a conductor, but the filament is a resistor : as current flows through the filament, some of the energy is released as heat and light.
How can you make a circuit to find out if an object is an insulator or a conductor?
You can create a simple circuit with a battery, a light bulb, and wires. Connect the wires to the battery and light bulb, then touch the ends of the wires to the object in question. If the light bulb lights up, the object is a conductor as it allows the flow of electricity. If the light bulb does not light up, the object is an insulator as it does not allow the flow of electricity.

Is a flannel shirt a conductor or a insulator?
insulator
Why doesn't the bulb glow if a piece of wood is blocking the circuit?
Because wood is not a conductor, it is an insulator.
Is a plastic pen an insulator or conductor?
is a pen a insulator of conductor
How could you use your open circuit to test is a material is a conductor or insulator?
Connect your material to the gap of the open circuit and see if the load(e.g bulb) works, if it does then the material is a conductor and if it doesn't then it's an insulator
