Can a switch in the off position cause electrical short circuit?
No, once the switch is turned off the circuit is de energized. A de energized circuit can not be shorted out to create a fault.
How do you make a 2 way switch which breaks the circuit only when both the switches are turned off?
Send power to the 1st switch and then send the power from that switch when it is in the on position to the second switch. Then send power to the light from the second switch. That way both switches will have to be in the on position for the light to be on.
What happened when you turned on the switch of the light?
A switch is placed in an electrical circuit in order to place a gap when the switch is off, so the circuit is broken. When the switch is on, the circuit is complete and the electricity can flow round the circuit.
When a switch in an electrical circuit is turned off what will happen?
Closing a switch in an electrical circuit will complete the circuit. The supply voltage will then be applied to that circuit, and current will flow through that circuit.
When a light switch is turned on what is done to the curcuit?
When a light switched is turned on the circuit is usually closed.
When the switch is closed it means that?
There is a complete path for the electricity to flow. The opposite of an open circuit. If a light switch is on and the light comes on, the circuit is closed. If the switch is turned off, the light goes off because the circuit is open.
How does a circuit turn a switch on and off?
A switch makes a physical break in the electric circuit. With the circuit broken the electricity can not flow. When the switch is turned the other way the circuit is completed and the current/electricity can flow.
How do you make sure power is turned off?
if the switch in the circuit is switched off, the power is turned off on the object.
How do you know when a single pole switch is bad?
The first clue would be,having voltage at the terminal of the switch, when the switch is turned on,the circuit does not energize.
Circuit diagram a light turned on from either location but can only be turned off with both switches?
3-Way switch. Google "3-way switch" for wiring diagram.
What does the on and off switch do on an electrical circuit?
When you turn It off it breaks the circuit. When it is turned on it closes the circuit. To have a light bulb turn on it need to have continuity. Hope that helps
What is close circuit and an open circuit?
a closed circuit is a complete circuit with no breaks at all, one example:- a closed circuit occurs when you turn the light switch on an open circuit has a physical break in the circuit, which stops the flow of electrons. one example is when the lights are turned off, the switch creates a physical break in the circuit
