When the wire inside a light bulb breaks, it interrupts the flow of electricity, causing the circuit to become incomplete. Without a continuous flow of electricity, the bulb cannot produce light. The broken wire prevents the filament from heating up and emitting light.

What does a light bulb have to do with an electrical light source?

A light bulb is a source of electric light. In an incandescent light bulb, the glass bulb forms a protective shield around a glowing filament. The air inside the glass bulb is removed, or replaced with an inert gas. Electric current is passed through a thin metal filament (usually tungsten), which causes it to glow white hot, giving out light. The protective bulb stops the filament from burning up, as it has no Oxygen.
