Q2 (Easy): Observe Fig. 3.16. With which material connected between the ends A and B, the lamp will not glow?

Answer:
We have studied that insulators do not allow electric current to pass through them. This is why lamp will not glow with insulator materials.

  • Plastic, rubber, wood are insulator materials
  • Current cannot flow through insulator substances
  • Circuit becomes incomplete with insulator connection
  • Metals would allow current to flow
Materials Between A and B Conductors (Lamp Glows) Insulators (Lamp Won't Glow) Copper wire Plastic scale Iron nail Rubber eraser Aluminium foil Wooden block
