Step 1: Study the diagrams of an incandescent light bulb and its parts. Answer the question. Glass Bulb Support Wires Filament -Lead Glass Support - keeps support wires Screw Base Screw Base Conducting parts on the outside of the bulb: Insulating parts on the outside of the bulb: Base Contacts Insulating Rings Base Contact Question: There are four parts the bulb you can touch (without having to break the bulb). Two of them are made of conducting material (metal) and two are made of insulating material. List them. Step 2: Examine the two diagrams of a working electrical circuit shown below. The diagram on the left shows picture representation of a simple circuit. The diagram on the right shows symbolic representation of the same circuit. Symbolic representations will be used in the following steps. Resistors or other devices (bulbs) Wires Batteries Step 3: Using a bare bulb (out of its socket), one battery, and one wire, could a light bulb be lit?.. Make a prediction and describe how the circuit would look. Remember it is a prediction, so not right or wrong answers. Question: Is it possible to light the bulb using the battery and no wires? Explain. Step 1: Study the diagrams of an incandescent light bulb and its parts. Answer the question.
