What else can I help you with?
How does a battery make a light bulb glow?
The flow of electrons from the battery flow through the filament in the bulb causing it to get hot and glow thus producing light.
Why does a battery power a light bulb?
A battery powers a light bulb by converting stored chemical energy into electrical energy. When the battery is connected to the light bulb, a circuit is completed, allowing the flow of electrons through the filament of the bulb, which produces light and heat.
What particle does the battery help supply to the wire which helps light the light bulb?
Electrons.
What is the job of a wire in a torch?
To conduct the flow of electrons/electricity from the battery to the bulb and back.
Do electrons from a battery reach the bulb before it lights?
No, electrons from a battery don't reach the bulb before it lights. An electric current is not simply a flow of electrons. Rather, an electron in a circuit will move only a short distance and then nudge another electron into motion, which will do the same thing with yet another electron. So while the current moves through the entire circuit, individual electrons do not unless it is left on for a very long time.
How is energy transfered in a simple system?
In a simple system, such as a light bulb connected to a battery, energy is transferred through electrical currents. When the battery is connected to the light bulb, it provides the energy needed for the bulb to emit light. This energy transfer occurs as the electrons flow through the wire from the battery to the light bulb.
Why must there be two connections to a batter and to a light bulb?
The electrons must go from the battery to the light-bulb, then come back again to the battery through the other connection. If there is only one connection, there will soon (within microseconds or so) be an accumulation of electrons that will repel any additional electrons - the current will stop flowing.
How would you describe the path electrons take in a simple flashlight circuit?
In a simple flashlight circuit, electrons flow from the negative terminal of the battery, through the circuit (which typically includes a switch and light bulb), and return to the positive terminal of the battery. This flow of electrons creates a current that powers the light bulb and produces light.
Are negative electrons converted into positive in the light bulb of a simple battery circuit?
No See the related link below.
What describes electricity flowing from a battery though a switch to a light bulb?
Circuit Electrons flow form the positive end of the battery through the wire connecting the positive terminal to a switch. The other end of the switch is connected to one terminal on the bulb, the other terminal of the bulb is connected to the negative end of the battery. No electrons (current) flows as long as the switch is open. Once the switch is closed and if the battery has enough voltage and current capacity to make the filament in the bulb glow, then the bulb emits light (together with wasted heat). If the switch is open, no current flows through the entire circuit and the bulb does not glow.
How are batteries connected in a flashlight?
The electrons from the battery go through the wiring to the bulb. Inside the bulb, they heat a tungsten wire so hot that it glows, giving off light.
Do electrons from a battery reach a bulb before it light?
No, electrons from a battery don't reach the bulb before it lights. An electric current is not simply a flow of electrons. Rather, an electron in a circuit will move only a short distance and then nudge another electron into motion, which will do the same thing with yet another electron. So while the current moves through the entire circuit, individual electrons do not unless it is left on for a very long time.
