Solution
The correct option is D Incandescent bulb Incandescent bulb works on heating effect of current. There is loss of energy in the form of heat. It requires a large amount of current to emit light. LED emits light using a very different phenomenon called photovoltaic effect. Wire is responsible for completion of circuits and provides the path for electric current to flow. Magnetic compass shows deflection near a current carrying wire or a magnet.
