That's because the path of the short circuit provides a much lower resistance than the actual path and which the current will choose to flow through the path with a lower resistance rather than the path connected to a bulb,which explains that why the bulb won't light up.
A parallel circuit lights up even when one bulb is out.
i have plans to make a lightbulb glow. to complete the circuit, what can i use? these are my options ....a copper penny,a plastic comb,a metal clip,or an iron nail?
Switch
The load is essentially what consumes electrons. For example a load on a light circuit would be a bulb. Therefore, if you don't hook up a load you aren't doing anything. It is like turning on a light switch without a bulb. It may give you some minor exercise, but it doesn't do anything useful.
Oh, dude, when a transformer has super low impedance, it's like opening up the floodgates for short circuit current to flow through, man. It's basically like giving a green light to a bunch of rowdy electrons to party hard and cause a massive current spike. So yeah, having a transformer with very low impedance amps up the short circuit current big time.
A bulb does not light up if there is no voltage available across the bulb, or if the bulb is burned out.
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.
Yes, a pickle can light up a light bulb if it is used to complete an electrical circuit. Pickles contain electrolytes that can act as conductors of electricity, allowing them to power a simple circuit and light up a small light bulb.
No, the bulb will not light up because there needs to be a complete circuit for the electricity to flow through. When you press the switch of the flashlight, it completes the circuit, allowing the bulb to light up.
The circuit needs to be closed for the light bulb to light up because it allows current to flow uninterrupted from the power source through the light bulb, which then converts electrical energy into light and heat. If the circuit is open, the flow of current is interrupted, and the light bulb will not receive the necessary electrical energy to produce light.
It doesn't matter where the bulb is in respect to the battery, as long as the circuit is complete, the bulb will light up.
it will not shine
No, the bulb will not light up if the metal tip and metal casing are connected to the same pole of the battery because there needs to be a complete circuit for the electricity to flow through the bulb and illuminate it. Also, connecting both parts to the same pole creates a short circuit which bypasses the bulb.
To test if a material is a conductor or insulator, you can set up a simple circuit with a battery, wires, and a light bulb. When the circuit is open (broken), no current flows and the light bulb does not light up, indicating an insulating material. When the circuit is closed (connected), current flows and the light bulb lights up, indicating a conducting material.
In a simple circuit with a battery and a light bulb, the battery provides electrical energy that flows through the wires to the light bulb. The electrical energy causes the filament in the light bulb to heat up and emit light. This process continues as long as the circuit remains closed and the battery has power.
light bulbs have metal contacts that connect to an electrical circuit and a filament. power lights up the filament in the bulb .
What needs to be complete is the circuit from the battery to the bulb, then the other wire from the bulb to the other side of the battery.If it is from an outlet rather than a battery, the circuit starts and finishes with the live and neutral pins at the outlet.
