I saw a few youtube videos explaining that electricity doesn’t actually travel through wires but directly to the bulb from the battery. I understood their explanation. But now I have a doubt. Since energy flows directly to the bulb, can I shield the bulb in some way such that the circuit is complete and even then the bulb doesn’t light up?
In: Physics
Some energy goes direct to the wire near the bulb, since both wires are acting as antennae.
However, that’s just a tiny amount of energy. Most of the energy has to travel along the wire.
