Electricity doesn’t travel through wires

859 viewsOtherPhysics

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?

Nope. Completing the circuit implies EM coupling, while shielding implies no coupling. Can’t have it both ways
