Aug 5, 2022 at 13:04 comment added donthababakka @CharlesTucker3 I actually doubted that. So you are saying if we move the whole set in a sufficient speed, it would make a flow of current and therefore the the bulb will glow, right?

Aug 5, 2022 at 8:22 comment added HEMMI You may find it helpful to read the article: "9-1 The electric potential gradient of the atmosphere" in the Feynman lecture's on Physics Vol 2. The bulb and the wire become equipotential $\phi=constant$.
