Question

An experiment is being conducted to test the conduction of electricity through vegetable oil as shown in image. Which of the following statement(s) is correct?

• A. The liquid (vegetable oil) allows the electric current to pass through. Since, it is a good conductor of electricity.
• B. The circuit of the tester is complete but the bulb does not glow.
• C. The circuit of the tester is not complete and hence the bulb does not glow.
• D. Both A and B

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

The circuit of the tester is not complete and hence the bulb does not glow.

Vegetable Oil is an insulator and is a bad conductor of electricity. When the liquid (vegetable oil) does not allow the electric current to pass, the circuit of the tester is not complete and the bulb does not glow.
