Solution :

It is given that the lamp glows brightly for a shorter period of time when the switch is closed on it the switch is put on. But after the some time the lamp goes off and it stops working.

This is because as soon as we on the switch, the current start flowing to the lamp which makes the filament of the lamp to glow, but due to some issue, the current stop flowing even when the switch is on and this stops the lamp from glowing and hence the lamp does not work.
