Question

A student while making a circuit ( to make bulb glow using a cell), connected the plastic covering of the wire to the cell, instead of metal wire inside it. Will current flow in the circuit? Why?

Solution

  1. No, current will not flow.
  2. Because plastic is the bad conductor of electricity, so when student connected through plastic wire, current will not flow through the circuit because of the insulating property of the plastic.
