## Scenario 7: Lighting Up A Lamp

###### System: Lamp

###### Initial State: An open circuit with a battery and a lamp.

###### Final State: The circuit was closed and the lamp lit up.

###### Remarks: The temperature of the lamp increased.

Hint 1
Consider the principle of conservation of energy.
Hint 2
Consider the type of energy transfer related to electric currents, light and infra-red radiation.
