While pure (distilled) water is not a terribly good conductor, the acid in the Tomato Juice will partially ionize the water in it. The result is a "fairly" good conductor, but still nowhere near as good as copper, silver, aluminum, etc.

So, yes, you easily get enough current to flow through tomato juice to give you a nasty shock or light a small bulb, but over any large distances, most of the electrical energy will be lost as heat due to resistance.

Do you use hair to make a light bulb?

No, hair is not used to make a light bulb. Light bulbs are typically made of glass or other transparent materials, with a filament made of tungsten or other metals that produce light when heated. Hair is not a suitable material for this purpose.


How much energy does a normal light-bulb make in comparison to a colored one?

Both normal and colored light bulbs typically have the same energy consumption in terms of electricity when producing light. The difference lies in the design of the colored bulb that filters out certain light wavelengths to produce colored light, which can make it appear dimmer compared to a normal bulb of the same wattage.


How can you power a light bulb with a carrot?

A carrot can be used as a battery to power a light bulb by inserting two different metal electrodes (such as copper and zinc) into the carrot, and connecting a light bulb between them. The acidity in the carrot acts as an electrolyte, allowing a small amount of electric current to flow through the circuit and light up the bulb.


Who was the first person to create the light bulb and make it useful?

Thomas Edison is widely credited with inventing the practical and commercially viable incandescent light bulb. He demonstrated the first successful light bulb in 1879 and his innovations helped make it a practical and widely used technology.


What do you use to make a lamp or light fitting light up?

To make a lamp or light fitting light up, you typically use a light bulb or LED bulb. The electricity flows through the bulb's filament or semiconductor, causing it to emit light. This process is controlled by a switch that completes the electrical circuit when turned on.
