To get an open circuit to work and light a light bulb, turn the switch on. Or hardwire it to power up the lamp. If the battey or other power source is good, and so is the lamp, make sure all the connections are good and that the conductor (wire) isn't broken. With all the components in good shape and properly connected, the light should be glowing.

Why won't your mixture of water flour salt and graphite light a single bulb though it contains 1.5 volts?

we have science project-make a battery using graphite instead of manganese oxide. we have all the required components including salt, water and flour and we also followed the right procedure. we checked it in a multi tester if it contains electricity and it does! its actually almost 1.5! BUt the problem is..... we have tried lighting a bulb already like almost 10 times but it still wont work!!!!!!!!! How come???? please, really need help. we are so pressured.. its almost our deadline of the project...=(


How do you connect a wire to a light bulb?

To connect a wire to an electric bulb you will need a battery, wires with alligator pegs and the bulb, plus plasticine or blue tack. You must stick the plasticine to the end of the battery and then also you must stick the other side of the battery with plasticine (the wires must be under the plasticine). next use the alligator pegs to hold both sides of the bulb. thus your bulb works. You should find this information pretty helpful.AnswerYou wire a lamp holder, and insert the lamp (not 'bulb' -you plant bulbs!) into the lamp holder.


What is the lumen's for a 500w halogen light?

Wikpedia says that halogen lamps produce about 19-20 lumens/watt. If you have a 500W lamp then you get 9500-10000 lumens.


What is the incandescent equivalent of a 40 Watt halogen bulb?

A halogen bulb IS ITSELF a type of incandescent illumination source. A 40 Watt traditional incandescent bulb usually emits about 400 to 500 lumens while a halogen may emit close to twice that. So a 25 W halogen might give out as much light as ah older style 40 W bulb.


What is the dew point when the dry bulb temperature is 14C and the dry bulb temperature is 8C?

To calculate the dew point, we need both the dry bulb temperature and the relative humidity. Please provide the relative humidity in order to determine the dew point.

What components do you need to make a simple series circuit to light a bulb?

You need a Battery, Light Bulb, Ammeter, Switch.


A complete what is needed to make a bulb light up?

To make a light bulb light up, you need a closed electrical circuit. This circuit typically consists of a power source (such as a battery or outlet), wires to carry the electricity, and the light bulb itself. When the circuit is complete and electricity flows through the bulb, it will produce light.


What would happen if you didn't have a light bulb for a circuit?

it would be ok in a circuit which didn't need a light bulb.

What do you need to make a simple series circuit to light a bulb?

To make a simple series circuit to light a bulb, the simplest components are a power source (such as a battery); a switch (to turn the power on or off); the bulb (obviously !); and some wires to connect everything together.


What will happen if you try to complete a circut by joining the glass of a light bulb to the batttery?

The glass of the light bulb is not conductive, so the circuit would not be completed. You would need to join the wires to the positive and negative contacts on the base of the bulb for the circuit to work.


How can I create a simple light bulb circuit using basic components?

To create a simple light bulb circuit, you will need a power source (such as a battery), a light bulb, and wires to connect them. Connect one end of the wire to the positive terminal of the battery, and the other end to one terminal of the light bulb. Then, connect another wire from the other terminal of the light bulb to the negative terminal of the battery. When the circuit is complete, the light bulb should light up. Make sure to use the correct voltage for the light bulb to avoid damaging it.


How do you connect a wire to make the bulb light?

To connect a wire to make a bulb light up, you need to complete an electric circuit. This involves connecting one end of the wire to the positive terminal of a power source (such as a battery) and the other end to the bulb's positive terminal. Then, connect the negative terminal of the battery to the negative terminal of the bulb to complete the circuit and allow electricity to flow, causing the bulb to light up.


How do you make a light bulb light up using a 1.5 volt battery?

If it is a 1.5 volt bulb you can connect it through a series circuit directly to your battery. If the bulb is not made to run on 1.5 volts and needs another voltage, it may not light up!


How can you change a closed circuit to a open circuit?

u need a battery 2 wires and a light bulb. Step 1. Get the 2 wires and connect them to the battery step 2. connect the other side at the bottom of the light bulb the light bulb should light if it doesn't :(
