Worked Solution

Step 1: An electrical conductor allows electricity to pass through it. Step 2: To test it, the material must complete the circuit loop. Step 3: Placing it in a gap ensures that if the bulb lights, the material is conducting electricity.

Correct answer: In a gap within the closed circuit
