It stands for Single Pole Single Throw
A single pole single throw switch (SPST) is used to open or close a contact to a single wire. It can be used as an on/off switch for an appliance or for a light bulb.
switching on the tourch for example is when as you switch it on it will move the switch connecting it to a circuit that lights up the bulb and when you switch the switch off the switch will move breaking the circuit
An example of a circuit protection device is a fuse. Another example is a circuit breaker.
A voltage or current source in series with a circuit breaker or fuse in series with a switch in series with a light bulb.
A flashlight is an example of a series circuit; a battery in series with a switch in series with a bulb.
An SPST switch can break the connection or hold the connection depending on which switch your using.
No.
A SPST switch is the type used for turning the lights on and off in your home lighting systems. It is just basically just an on - off switch.

If one circuit contains all three switches and their loads are on the same circuit then only one "hot" and one neutral is needed.
Electronic circuit. Not a manual switch

SPST stands for Single-Pole, Single-Throw, and is a designation for the switch contact arrangement that has just two terminals. As the switch is thrown, these two terminals will be either open or closed depending on the position of the handle.
A three way switch is a switch that is used in a lighting circuit that allows the light fixture to be turned on from three separate locations within the building. In electrical terminology this switch is also referred to as a SPST, Single Pole Single Throw switch. The switch has three individual terminals of which two are always connected. These switches are usually located at the far extremes of the circuit with an intermediate switch between them. This intermediate switch is referred to an a four way switch.

If a circuit has no switch then it remains 'on' permanently. If you desire to open or close a circuit, for turning on or turning off a light for example, you need some kind of switch.
