The chemical energy stored in the chemicals stored inside a cell converts into electrical energy. When the chemicals of the cell are used up, it stops producing electricity.
2.
(a) Vimlesh is intelligent and has good knowledge of current and its hazard.
(b) A plastic glove is an insulator. It does not conduct electricity.
3.
Bulb has two terminals because it is connected to the terminals of a cell or a battery so that current passes through the filament.
4.
Among copper, silver and aluminium, we use copper and aluminium not silver for household wires because copper and aluminium are much cheaper than silver and silver is used as an ornaments and is also heavier than copper and aluminium.
5.
To complete the circuit, we must join the one end of the wire with the free end of cell. The other end of wire must be connected with the bulb. Now, the bulb will glow.
