Question

Ayanna has set up an electric circuit using some connecting copper wires, a battery, a switch and a bulb that she has taken from a torch light. But after connecting the equipment, the bulb is not glowing. What can be the reasons for this?

Answer 1

A simple electric circuit can be constructed using copper wires, a battery, a switch and an electric bulb. Few possible reasons why Ayanna has been failing to make the bulb glow are:

1. The battery is an old one, hence it might be dead.

2. The circuit is open.

3. The connecting wires are not connected properly.

4. The bulb is fused.
