Electricity: It is more than it seems
We started out today looking at this image and predicting which situations would light the bulb. After testing in class, comment below your findings. Be prepared to discuss your reasons if and when you are asked.
In the drawing, we have a battery with a bare wire running from the negative pole of the battery to the positive pole of the battery. The bare wire is then touching the threads of the bulb. So, what do you think, will it light? Why or why not?

No because the wire isn't touching the bottom-Brian
ReplyDeleteToppy
ReplyDeleteNo it will not light, because it needs to be touching the threads and the bottom of the bulb.
Bethany- I think it will not light because the bottom of the bulb is not also touched by either the wire or the battery.
ReplyDeleteAndy- the light bulb will not light, because the bottom of the battery is not being touched by anything.
ReplyDeleteConnor- It will not light because the thread and the bottom of the bulb are being touched by the electric current
ReplyDeleteBecca- The bulb will not light because the wire is touching the threads of the bulb but the bottom of the bulb isn't touching the battery.
ReplyDeleteDillon
ReplyDeleteWe found that in this diagram, the bulb will not ligt because the bottom of the bulb is not touching.
Kristyn- I don't think it will light because the bottom of the bulb is not touching the battery.
ReplyDeleteAsh- this will not light because they are not touching both parts of the light bulb, the bottom and the threaded part.
ReplyDeleteBrooks- I think it will not light because it's half way and nothing is touching the bottom of the lightbulb. So the current will not flow through the light bulb.

ReplyDeleteNo because the wire does not touch both sides of the lightbulb. Chandler
ReplyDeleteHunter- the bulb will not light because no wire is touching the thread.
ReplyDeleteCole- the bulb will not light because the blub has to be touched by the wire on both sides of the threads.
ReplyDeleteShamarkelle- No it will not light because the bulb is not touching the battery
ReplyDeleteKayla-
ReplyDeleteIt will not light because the wire is not touching the thread and the bulb is not on the surface of the battery (positive or negative side)
Tamia- the bulb will not light unless
ReplyDeleteit is connected to both negative & positive
ends of the battery & also the wire has to touch the thread in order for it to light up. :)
Dustin- I dont think that it will not light because even tho the sides of the battery are touching the wire the bottom of the bulb also has to touch the battery (>^_^)>#<(^_^<)
ReplyDeleteTiana - the bulb will not light because the bottom of the bulb has to touch the battery :.-(
ReplyDeletexzavion- the bulb will not light unless you are touching the thread of the bulb and bottom of bublb
ReplyDeleteI think that the bulb wont light because it needs both the thread and the. Bottom of the bulb to even light
ReplyDeleteHeather-the bulb won't light because it isn't touching the bottom of the bulb.
ReplyDeleteJacalyn- The light bulb will not light unless you are connecting the bulb to the positive or negative part of the battery and then touching it with the wire
ReplyDeleteWill-the bulb light because it touched the thread and bottom
ReplyDeletechristoph- no because the light bulb isn't being touched on both the threads and the silver part on the bottom
ReplyDeleteCaitlyn-the bulb wil not light because the wire is not touching the thread of the bulb :)

ReplyDeleteArianna :
ReplyDeleteI don't think it will light because neither the wire or the battery is touching the bottom of the bulb.
Sarah- I don't think that the bulb will light because the bottom of the light bulb is not touching the battery.
ReplyDeleteLogan F.- it will not light because the tip of the bulb is not touching the positive pole
ReplyDeleteSchyler- It will not light up because the electricity is not being force through the bulb therefore it doesn't move through the bulb making light!!
ReplyDeleteMadi:
ReplyDeleteI don't think it will light because the wire has to touch both poles of the battery for the bulb to light.
Kiera- i think it will not light because the wire is not touching both poles of the battery
ReplyDeleteTabi- No the battery won't light because the bottom of the bulb needs to be touching the battery and the threads of the battery needs to be connected to the wire to allow the flow of electrical current.
ReplyDeleteLauren- no it wont light because the wire needs to be touching the battery and the other end needs to be touching the bulb while the bulb is touching the battery.
ReplyDeleteKristyn-The bulb will not be lit because the wire is not touching the bottom of the bulb
ReplyDeleteAdam B
ReplyDeleteI don't think it will work because it isn't receiving an adequate amount of charge from both poles
Ali T - No it will not light because it needs to be touching the bottom of the bulb.
ReplyDeleteBrett
ReplyDeleteThe bulb will not light because the wire is not touching the bottom of the bulb so the current will not flow into the bulb
name
ReplyDeleteShawn- no because the wire is not touching both sides of the bulb
ReplyDeleteEmily J.
ReplyDeleteNo the bulb isn't touching the battery.
Elijah
ReplyDeleteYes because it has a positive and negative charge!!:)
No because the wire isnt touching the bottom. -Karlie

ReplyDeleteNo, because the bulb is not touching the battery.
ReplyDeleteKirsten
It will not light because the bottom of the bulb is not being touched Cade C.

ReplyDeleteSilas- No,because the wires aren't touching the side of the batteries.
ReplyDeleteAntasia- it wont light because the wire has to be touching both sides of the light bulb and on either one side of the aaa battery...
ReplyDeleteisiah-no because the bulb is not touching the battery
ReplyDeleteNo it will not light b/c it is not touching both sides of the bulb..........Krystina
ReplyDeleteKatie-
ReplyDeleteIt wont light because the wires arent touching the side of the batteries
Emily F-no because they dont touch the sides

ReplyDeleteTyyyy
Kayla W: no because tha battery aint touchinq the bulb.
ReplyDeleteShannon no because it is not touching both sides of the battery
ReplyDeletep-no it wont ligth bc the wire is not touching the sides of the bulb

Cami, I think it won't light up because the bulb isn't touching the battery.
ReplyDeleteKristian- It will not light because the bottom part of the battery isnt properly touching any part of the light bulb, which is an incomplete circuit. Therefore, the energy in the wire will not be transferred to the light bulb.
ReplyDeleteNo I don't think it will light because the bulb has to be touching the battery for it to light up.
ReplyDelete-Jake
