Statement 1: It is observed that sometimes a bulb glows brighter and sometimes it glows dim. Statement 2: Glowing brighter and dimmer depends on heating effect of current. More current produces more heating effect making the bulb glow brighter and vice-versa.

More current produces more heating effect and hence the filament heats up completely and it glows brighter but it glows dimmer when less current... View Article

You are using a tester with a light bulb to conduct an experiment to find out if a liquid is a conductor of electricity. But you observe that one of the liquids which is supposed to be a conductor according to your textbook is not causing the light bulb to glow, even though you have checked that all the connections are fine, and the battery and bulb are in working condition. What could be the possible reason for this?

The filament of an electric bulb glows because of the heating effect of electric current. As the current passes through the bulb it heats the... View Article
