Battery, Bulb, Wire

Here is the first answer to the questions below.


YES, it is possible to light a bulb with a battery and a wire.


Several of the Harvard Graduates attempted to light the bulb by holding one end of the wire to the battery and the other end to the bulb.


This does NOT result in lighting the bulb.


In order to cause the electricity from the battery to light the bulb you must close the circuit. You must create a loop from one end of the source (battery) to the other end of the source. This will allow the electricity from the battery to flow through the wire. When you then make contact with the bulb to the wire it will light.

Ta DA!

I'll post answers to the other two questions soon.
