The bulb will glow or the magnetic needle will show deflection if the liquid in
the beaker is a good conductor of electricity.
Greater the deflection of needle or brighter the light, better is the conductivity
of the liquid.

Potential difference
When a battery is not connected to any circuit, the potential difference across
the terminals of the battery is equal to the EMF of the battery.

Application:
Electric iron, toaster, fused wire,bulb
Fused wire: a low-melting point wire connected in series with electric
devices for safety.
Electroplating is the process of coating a metal using electric current and
electrolyte.
The above picture explains how copper can be deposited on a different metal
using electroplating.
Electroplating can be used to give shiny and scratch proof finish
to objects made from cheaper metals. Also, a coating
of zinc is deposited on iron to protect it from formation of rust.
Electric power: Electric power is defined as the rate of consumption of
energy or simply the rate of doing work.
