Open in App
Solution

A bulb will obviously glow when it is connected to a circuit. When the electrons flow the current generates, this current also flows throgh the bulb. Generally, an electric bulb has a thin filamemt made of tungsten which offer resistance when current flows through it and hence, the electrical energy changes into heat and light energy. This is how the bulb glows.
