Two arrangements of a battery, bulb, and wire are shown. Which of the two arrangements, if either, will light the bulb? Explain.
Which of two arrangements will light the bulb.
Answer to Problem 1CQ
The bulb will light in arrangement
Explanation of Solution
To light the bulb, the circuit need to be closed. If the circuit is not closed, there will be no current and the bulb will not light.
In the arrangement
In the arrangement
Conclusion:
The bulb will light in arrangement
