Aluminum foil does not give power to batteries to light a light bulb. The common batteries that we use in flashlights and portable electrical/electronic devices, like the "D" cells, "C" cells, "AA" and "AAA" cells, are made with a zinc can. This zinc outer container for the battery has two jobs. It acts as a housing to contain the electrolyte, and reacts with the electrolyte to create voltage. There isn't any aluminum involved. The actual chemical reactions involved in the generation of voltage in the zinc-carbon or zinc-manganese (the "alkaline") cell can by found by Surfing the link to our friends at Wikipedia. They're down with all this. And you can be to.

Should it be better storing sandwiches in plastic or foil?
it would be better to store them in foil because no light would get in and do bad things to the food
Why does foil absorbs light mean that it is opaque?
There are three possible characteristics to a materials reflectivity, which are all due to the orientation of its molecules: Transparent - light travels through the material Reflective - light is redirected away from the material Opaque - light is absorbed by the material Foil absorbing light means it is opaque because that is the definition of the term.

Whatever you do don't put aluminum foil around the end of the light bulb as it burns and that is not safe at all.
What 6 things do you need to make a torch?
to make a torch you need batteries (obviously), a switch (you can buy a standard switch or make a pressure switch out of foil and cardboard), a light bulb, wires (3 if you are using any kind of switch) and a housing (something to hold the batteries, wires, light bulb etc. together). I would also recommend using a light bulb holder and wires with alligator clips (if you dont have solder) as these make the construction more sturdy. they may increase bulk but they are worth it especially as it is easy to replace the bulb and there is no solder needed therefore nothing has to be broken to replace anything.
How do you make electricity out of a light bulb fifth grade projects?
You would need tin foil ,3 volt battery and a bulb.First you wrap the tin foil around the battery and then attach the bulb your switch will be the opposite side where you place the bulb,if you press i will turn on and if you leave it will turn off.I hope that's helpful.

Will a circuit light with aluminium foil?
Aluminum foil will conduct electricity, so it can be used to complete a circuit and light a lamp..
What happens when light hits foil?
It should reflect the light.
Can you generate heat with batteries?
yes put aluminum foil extending from the positive to negative an feel the heat!!
What things is reflected from natural light?
Many things are reflected from natural light, for example: Solar power light, iron, metal, tin foil and planets (all), moon, mirror. But there are much more too.
