Question

Paheli wanted to glow a torch bulb using a cell. She could not get connecting wires, instead, she got two strips of aluminum foil. Will she succeed? Explain, how?

Answer 1

Aluminum

1. Aluminium is a metal that conducts electricity well. Yes, the aluminium foils can serve as connecting wires, connecting one strip to the bulb's positive terminal and the other to the bulb's negative terminal.
2. Metal strips are classified as conductors, and aluminium strips are metal strips.
3. That is, conductors are materials that allow electricity to pass through them or conduct electricity.
4. The aluminium strips will complete the circuit by acting as connecting wires. That is how the light bulb will appear to be lit.

Hence, yes, Paheli will be able to light the lamp by connecting aluminum strips to the cell rather than wires because aluminum is a good conductor of electricity and can pass the electric current through it, allowing the bulb to light up.
