C) Copper sulphate solution
D) Aqueous solution of HCl
Question 10
Why doesn't the bulb of a tester glow sometimes even though the material may be a conductor?
A) The current through the circuit is too weak.
B) The current through the circuit is sufficient.
C) The filament gets heated to a very high temperature.
