Question

The copper wire and bulb is connected in a series with 220 V electric supply. Why only an electric bulb glows where as the copper wire remains the same.Give REASON to support the answer.

Answer 1

-- In a series circuit, the current ( I ) is the same at every point.

-- The power dissipated by any section of the circuit is I² x Resistance.

-- The wire has very low resistance, so I²R is very low dissipated power.

-- The filament in the bulb has most all of the resistance in the circuit,
so it dissipates virtually all the power of the circuit, and certainly much
more than the wires do.
