Experiment description
This experiment demonstrates the electrical conductivity of metals and non-metals using a simple circuit with a battery, wires, and a bulb. Different materials are placed in the circuit to test whether they allow electric current to pass. Metals such as copper, gold, aluminium, and silver complete the circuit and make the bulb glow, while non-metals like glass do not, showing that metals are good conductors and glass is an insulator.
