Q

Using 1 wire, 1 battery, and 1 bulb, how can you make the bulb light up?

A

Both ends of THE WIRE must touch metal. One end of the wire must touch the battery on the + or on the negative terminal other end must touch the metal threads or the soldered tip (both metal) The metal part of the bulb that is NOT touching must touch the available terminal.

Q

static electricity

A

negatively charged electrons that move off the surface of one object and build up on the surface of another. The electrons do not move through a circuit. They rest on the surface of that object until they are released. This release is called electrical discharge.
