A great conductor of electricity is:

• wood
• plastic
• metal
• cloth

Attached to this electrical circuit is copper. Copper is a conductor of electricity therefore the bulb should

• Glow

• Turn off immediately

• Instantly get very hot, then cool down quickly

• Be dimmer

A conductor

• Doesn't allow electricity to pass through it

• Only conducts electricity in an open circuit

• Does not light up a bulb if attached to a circuit

• Allows electricity to pass through it
