Question

If the filament of the bulb is broken, would the circuit be complete? Would the bulb still glow?

Answer 1

Answer:

Fused bulb : If the filament of the bulb is broken, the circuit is not completed and hence the current can not flow. ... When a bulb gets fused, it does not light up.

Answer 2

No, the bulb will not glow in this case.

• The filament of the bulb is a metallic thread or wire that lights up and causes the bulb to glow when electricity is turned on.
• This bulb will only light up if it is part or component of a closed circuit.
• A circuit is closed if all of the components, such as batteries, switches, wires, and bulbs, are properly ordered and form a complete circuit with no faults or breakage for the flow of current.
• In the case of a bulb, the filamnet is the principal component that connects to the battery connections. When the switch is turned on and the circuit is completed and closed, it illuminates.
• In this case, the bulb filament is shattered. It denotes that the circuit is open and that no electric current can flow across it.
• This will make the bulb fuse and hence it will not glow in this case.
