[2 marks]

Answer 1

• We know that for the bulb to glow, the electric circuit should be closed. [0.5 marks]
• Like a cell, an electric bulb also has two terminals. [0.5 marks]
• Here the electric circuit is open because the connection of the wire with the bulb is improper. The wire should be connected to two terminals of the bulb to make the electric circuit closed. [0.5 marks]
• But as we can see that although wires are connected to two terminals of the battery, wires are connected to only one terminal of the bulb. Hence it will not glow. [0.5 marks]
