Imagine you are creating a circuit. It works and the light bulb turns on. Then you add a piece of plastic to the circuit, and the light bulb does not turn on. We can infer that the plastic is
an insulator
a conductor
an electron
static electricity
If the light bulb turns ON in a circuit, that means the circuit is
open
closed
If the light bulb turns ON in a circuit, that means the circuit is
open
