In an experimental set$-$up as shown below, a piece of silver was placed touching points $A$ and $B .$ Next time it was replaced by a piece of wood. In which case did the bulb glow ? Give reason to justify the observation.

The bulb will glow in case of silver piece because it is a good conductor of electricity. Wood is a bad conductor of electricity, therefore, when it will be placed the bulb will not glow.
