Aluminum foil does not give power to batteries to light a light bulb. The common batteries that we use in flashlights and portable electrical/electronic devices, like the "D" cells, "C" cells, "AA" and "AAA" cells, are made with a zinc can. This zinc outer container for the battery has two jobs. It acts as a housing to contain the electrolyte, and reacts with the electrolyte to create voltage. There isn't any aluminum involved. The actual chemical reactions involved in the generation of voltage in the zinc-carbon or zinc-manganese (the "alkaline") cell can by found by Surfing the link to our friends at Wikipedia. They're down with all this. And you can be to.
What else can I help you with?
Can aluminum foil make a light bulb work?
No, aluminum foil cannot make a light bulb work. Light bulbs require electricity to illuminate, and aluminum foil is not a source of electricity. Placing aluminum foil on a light bulb can be dangerous and risk causing a fire.
Can aluminum foil be used to hold batteries in place of a home thermostat?
No you can not
Will a black light illuminate silver foil and iridescent foil?
A black light will not illuminate silver foil, as it does not contain phosphors that react to UV light. Iridescent foil may reflect some UV light from the black light, but it will not glow or illuminate like fluorescent materials would.
Why does foil paper shine in the dark?
Foil paper appears shiny in the dark because it reflects the light from other sources, such as ambient light or artificial light nearby. It does not produce its own light.
Is kitchen foil luminous?
Kitchen foil is not luminous on its own, meaning it does not emit light. However, it can reflect light and appear to be shiny or reflective depending on the lighting conditions.
Can aluminum foil light a bulb?
No you dummy .
Can aluminum foil make a light bulb work?

What did Thomas Edison invented?
The light bulb!
If you put aluminum foil around end of bulb will it hit the socket and would it be safe?
Whatever you do don't put aluminum foil around the end of the light bulb as it burns and that is not safe at all.
What 6 things do you need to make a torch?
to make a torch you need batteries (obviously), a switch (you can buy a standard switch or make a pressure switch out of foil and cardboard), a light bulb, wires (3 if you are using any kind of switch) and a housing (something to hold the batteries, wires, light bulb etc. together). I would also recommend using a light bulb holder and wires with alligator clips (if you dont have solder) as these make the construction more sturdy. they may increase bulk but they are worth it especially as it is easy to replace the bulb and there is no solder needed therefore nothing has to be broken to replace anything.
How do you make electricity out of a light bulb fifth grade projects?
You would need tin foil ,3 volt battery and a bulb.First you wrap the tin foil around the battery and then attach the bulb your switch will be the opposite side where you place the bulb,if you press i will turn on and if you leave it will turn off.I hope that's helpful.
Does foil catch light or prevent light?
Foil reflects light
Can aluminum foil be used to hold batteries in place of a home thermostat?
No you can not
Will foil absorb or reflect light?
Foil will reflect light rather than absorbing it. The shiny surface of foil acts as a mirror, bouncing light rays off of it.
Will a black light illuminate silver foil and iridescent foil?
A black light will not illuminate silver foil, as it does not contain phosphors that react to UV light. Iridescent foil may reflect some UV light from the black light, but it will not glow or illuminate like fluorescent materials would.
What happens when light hits foil?
When light hits foil, it reflects off the surface of the foil due to its smooth and shiny nature. The reflective property of the foil causes the light to bounce off in various directions, creating a glare or shine. If the foil is crumpled or wrinkled, the light will scatter in multiple directions, creating a diffuse reflection rather than a focused shine.
Will a circuit light with aluminium foil?
Aluminum foil will conduct electricity, so it can be used to complete a circuit and light a lamp..
