filament.

Q18. What is a filament in a light bulb?


Ans. The thin wire that gives off light is called the filament of
the bulb.

Q19. Write two examples of conductor and insulators.


Ans. Conductor – Copper and Aluminium
Insulators – Plastic and Rubber

Q20. What is heating effect of current?


Ans. Heating caused due to conversion of electrical energy
into heat energy is called heating effect of current.

Q21. Will the bulb glow in an open circuit? Why or why


not?
Ans. Bulb does not glow in an open circuit because the bulb
glows only when current flows through the circuit.

Q22. What is an electric bulb?


Ans. An electric bulb (or a light bulb) is a device that converts
electrical energy into light energy.
