**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Circuit**: When an electric bulb is connected to a cell, it forms a circuit. For the bulb to glow, the circuit must be complete, allowing electric current to flow through the bulb. 2. **Checking the Cell**: The first thing to check is the cell (battery) itself. If the cell is dead or has no charge left, it will not provide the necessary voltage to light the bulb. 3. **Inspecting the Bulb**: If the cell is functioning, the next step is to check the bulb. A common issue is that the bulb may be fused. This means the filament inside the bulb is broken, preventing current from passing through and lighting the bulb. ...
