No, of course not! You are wrong. I have tried wrapping the wire around but it doesnt work. What you have to do is connect one end of the wire to a battery and tape it on just to make sure it doesnt get loose.
What you do wih the other end of the copper wire is connect it to the bulb and once again, tape it on just incase it doesnt get loose.
It Doesnt Work Beacause The Copper Wire Is Not Strong Enough To Make Electicity Pass Through So Dont Bother Trying it

with standard household 120ac it will NOT light up. but you can get it to work by using really high voltages (several thousands volts or higher. the electricity has to have enough volts in order to ionize the gas inside the bulb....however it will not light up in its normal fassion, but instead will just ionize the gas inside and that will glow a different color depending on the composition gas inside the bulb. This will still work even if the filament is broken. also if it is broken you can run a wire to the base of the bulb and the other on the screw side. this will cause a "arc" between the filliment holders which will glow as i said before.
i have got purple for most of my bulbs, some blue it all depends on the voltage and the gas inside.
and YES copper is strong enough as long as the amps arent high (amps is what will cause a wire to burn up or short out) but with a low amp high voltage copper wire will work.
I know this because i have don't it many times, all you need is a high voltage low amp source to do it.
neon sighn Transformers work great....and thas what i use majority of the time. But i am buying a device that is intended for experiments, you can adjust the amount of voltage from 10k - 60k. this type of machine is perfect for high voltage electrical experiments
What else can I help you with?
How can you use a wire battery and a light bulb to test an item to see if it is a conductor of electricity?
I am going to assume you meant Three wires, Battery and Light Bulb. (punctuation and plurals are important) Hook the light to one post of the battery Hooked from the light to the item being tested (use the other light connection, not the one connected to the battery) connect the other end of the test item to the unused terminal on the battery. Light comes on means it conducts electricity No Light, it does not.
Do you have a diagram on 9volt battery and light bulb?
Draw a battery and light bulb. Draw a line from the smaller connector on the battery to the bottom of the light bulb, this is positive on both. Draw a line from the bigger connector on the battery to the side of the light bulb,'this is the negative of both. Looked all over and can't seem to find this one.
What happens when a battery light the light bulb?
When a battery is connected to a light bulb, the electrical current flows from the battery through the wire, causing the filament in the light bulb to heat up and emit light. The battery acts as a power source, providing the necessary voltage and current to illuminate the bulb.
How do you light a light bulb with a six volt battery?
You'll need two pieces of wire... and im pretty sure that if you take one end of the wire and put it on the very bottom of the light bulb and the other end of the wire and put it on the positive side of the battery, and take the other wire and put it on the threads of the light bulb and the other end of the wire and put that end on the negative side of the battery, you should get light. (I may have the polarities [positive & negative] mixed up).
Have 3 lights Power to light 1 Need to connect light 2 then light 3 then down to single pole switch How do you wire?
You would wire the switch to the first light. Code says to break the black or power side of the circuit. Connect the white to the light. Take the black down to the switch on the black wire and back to the light on the white. This is a line of wire from the light to the switch. From the first light, take the white and the return white from the switch to the second with another run of wire. This will be regular black white with ground. White to white and at the first light the return line from the switch is white but hook to the black to the second light. Second light to third just continues the two wires. Black to black, white to white. I think this is clear enough to follow. If not, ask again.
What happens when you connect a single battery to a light bulb?
If the voltage is appropriate, the bulb will shine.
What happens when you connect the battery's negative side to the ground with a light bulb will it light up?
Nothing happens at all, unless there is a complete conducting path back to the battery's positive side. Once you have that, current will flow, and the light bulb may light up.
I WANTED TO USE SINGLE 5MM LEDS TO MAKE A LIGHT BAR FOR A VEHICLE HOW CAN I MAKE A 55 WATT LIGHT BAR RUN OFF 12V BATTERY?
Connect it from the battery to a switch running through a 10 amp fuse.
To light up a light bulb we need to connect to a?
To light a light bulb you need to connect to a source of electricity like a battery or an electrical outlet.
How do you connect a light to a lawnmower?
You can buy a battery powered light at the bicycle shop.
If you connect a battery and a bulb in this way the bulb will not light?
yes
When you connect a battery and a bulb and one will not light what is your circuit?
series
How do you check the timing on a 1991 straight 6 ford F-150?
Connect timing light to battery and No. 1 cylinder and aim light at crankshaft Connect timing light to battery and No. 1 cylinder and aim light at crankshaft timing marks
How do you make a light bulb light up using a 1.5 volt battery?
If it is a 1.5 volt bulb you can connect it through a series circuit directly to your battery. If the bulb is not made to run on 1.5 volts and needs another voltage, it may not light up!
What happens if you accidentally reverse the wiring in a light switch?
A single pole, single throw light switch simply interrupts the electrical current. It makes absolutely no difference which way you connect the wires, it will still interrupt a circuit when connected in series.
How do you make a circuit with a light bulb and battery?
Get your bulb, it should be a very small wattage (weak) one, get your battery and wires, connect one wire to plus side of abttery and other wire to minus side of battery, then connect to the bulb, you may have to play around a bit to find a connection that produces light.
How to change a open circuit to a closed circuit?
u need a battery 2 wires and a light bulb. Step 1. Get the 2 wires and connect them to the battery step 2. connect the other side at the bottom of the light bulb the light bulb should light if it doesn't :(
