The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks under what condition sparks can be seen on an electric dipole when wires become loose or tight. 2. **Defining Electric Dipole**: An electric dipole consists of two equal and opposite charges separated by a distance. In practical applications, it often refers to a pair of wires or conductors. 3. **Analyzing Wire Conditions**: - **Loose Wire**: When a wire is loose, the connection is not stable. This means that the electrical contact can be intermittently broken and re-established. - **Tight Wire**: When a wire is tight, the connection is stable and continuous, which means there is less likelihood of interruption. 4. **Effect of Loose Wires**: - When the wire is loose, it can cause the electrical connection to open and close frequently. - This intermittent connection can lead to sparking or arcing at the point where the wire is loose. 5. **Sparking Mechanism**: - As the connection opens and closes, the electrical current can jump across the gap, creating a spark. - The heat generated at the point of contact due to the electrical resistance can also contribute to the sparking. 6. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis, sparks can be seen on an electric dipole when the wires become loose. **Final Answer**: Sparks can be seen on an electric dipole when the wires become **loose**. ---
