Electric Light

Today in class we attempted to light a bulb using only a battery, wire, and bulb. This can be done by connecting the wire to one end of the battery and connecting the other end of the wire to the bulb, when you touch the bulb to the other end of the battery the bulb will light up. The reason for this is the energy from the battery is allowed to flow through the wire into the bulb and when the bulb is connected to the opposite charge light is created.
