Electricity flows through the path of least resistance. Electricity will flow through anything conductive; metals, liquids, and even through small particles. Your insulators are porcelain, glass, plastics, wood and cloths. All variances of voltage is deadly. The most dangerous thingabout electricity is the current or amperage. As little as 17 miliamps can stop your heart.

What does a light source do?
It's simple the light bulb brings light when it is dark.it lights up the house how does it light up. it has a cord which electricity passes through and lights up the wire
How is science present in a city street?
Electricity and circuits make up the lights. All kinds of energy is exchanges both chemical and physical. There are molecules in the air and all kinds of organisms,
Sometimes you hear someone say that a particular appliance uses up electricity What is it that the appliance actually uses up and what becomes of it?
An electric device does not "use up" electricity, but rather energy. And strictly speaking, it doesn't "use up" energy, but transforms it from one form to another. It is common to say that energy is used up when it is transformed to less concentrated forms--when it is degraded. Electrical energy ultimately becomes heat energy. In this sense it is used up. ------ I have a washing machine - I think it's a typical appliance - it uses electricity and water. But it does not "use up" any electricity or water - there is always more. Same for all of our other appliances. The clothes washer (above), dryer (gas and electricity), dish washer (water and electricity), microwave (only electricity). Popcorn maker (only electricity), toaster (only electricity), refrigerator (only electricity). Really, what these appliances "use up" is counter or floor space, especially the big ones.
Accumulation of electric charges on a object?
The build up of a charge on an object can be referred to as a static build up charge.
What does electrica?
Static electricity is the accumulation or build up of electricity charges on the surface of a material, usually an insulator or non-conductor of electricity.
Can a bulb light up if no electricity is running through to it?
Simply put, no. A light bulb lights up because the filament inside (the thin wire that often breaks) has a lot of resistance in it, then when electricity flows through it, it heats up and glows brightly.
What inert gas lights up when electricity passes through it?
Neon lights up when electricity passes through it, producing a reddish-orange glow.
What happens to the filament when electricity flows through?
When electricity flows through the filament in a light bulb, it heats up due to resistance, becoming white-hot and producing visible light. This light is what we see when we turn on a light bulb.
Property of the filament that makes it light up when electricity flows through it?
Incandescence. The filament is heated by the electricity moving through it, this causes the filament to heat up, and the heat causes the familiar glow.
Can electricity still pass through a bulb which has fused?
If the bulb lights up then electricity is passing through the bulb. If the bulb doesn't light up then electricity is not passing through.
What makes a light bulb light up?
When an incandescent light bulb (the normal round ones that Thomas Edison invented) is placed into a "hot" circuit, (meaning there is electricity flowing through it), the electricity passes through the filament (little metal wires) on the inside. As the electricity passes through it, the wires heat up and make a chemical reaction causing light to be emitted.
What does a lamp in a circuit do?
A lamp in a circuit converts electrical energy into light energy when current flows through it. This conversion is possible due to the properties of the lamp's filament or gas, which heats up and emits light when electricity passes through it.
What happens when electricity flows through the filament in a light bulb?
When electricity flows through the filament in a light bulb, the filament becomes very hot and starts to emit light due to the process of incandescence. The electricity heats up the filament to a high temperature, causing it to glow and produce light.
Where does the electricity go in a light bulb?
Electricity flows through the filament of a light bulb, heating it up and causing it to emit light. The electricity powers the light bulb, allowing it to produce illumination.
What does a light source do?
It's simple the light bulb brings light when it is dark.it lights up the house how does it light up. it has a cord which electricity passes through and lights up the wire
What is the source of energy in a light bulb?
Electricity is the source of energy in a light bulb.
What is the path taken by electricity through a light bulb?
Electricity flows from the power source through the wires connected to the light bulb's terminals. The electricity then passes through the filament inside the light bulb, which heats up and produces light. Finally, the electricity exits the light bulb and returns to the power source through the wiring.
