When lighting a bulb with a battery and wire, the electricity travels through the wire to the filament in the bulb, which creates heat and light. Since your fingers are not part of the electrical circuit, they do not come into direct contact with the electricity, so they do not get burned. It is important to be cautious and avoid touching the wire or components that might get hot during the process.

How many batteries does it take to burnout a light bulb?

The number of batteries needed to burn out a light bulb depends on the type of battery and the power rating of the light bulb. Typically, for a standard household light bulb (60-100 watts), one high-power battery or two to three regular batteries might be enough to burn it out due to overload. However, attempting to intentionally burn out a light bulb can be dangerous and is not recommended.


What happens when a bulb is attached to a battery?

When a bulb is attached to a battery or a cell as scientists call it, the bulb glows. If you want a bulb to glow more and more brighter, it depends on how many batteries you attached to the bulb. If you attach a lot of batteries at the same time, the bulb might even explode or burn out. The wires that hold the interaction between a light bulb and the battery is electricity. The electricity flows through the wires and touches the bulb and that is how a light bulb glows.

The light bulb will probably burn out, if the fuse of the lamp does not burn out first. On the other hand, a lamp with 240V rating can still be used in the USA, but the light will be about half as bright for the same light bulb.


Will a light bulb burn or melt a rubber band?

It depends upon the wattage of the light bulb. The lower the bulb wattage the lower the heat generated by the bulb. A 100 watt bulb should generate enough heat to destroy a rubber band.
