Due to the heating effect of current, the filament of the bulb gets heated to a high temperature and it starts
glowing. However, if the current is very weak the filament doesn’t get heated sufficiently and it does not glow.
That is why in some situations, even though the liquid is conducting, the bulb may not glow. Hence, it is
