What else can I help you with?
A type of circuit that allows the light bulb to turn on?
a closed circuit
What job does a switch do in a circuit?
A switch in a circuit controls the flow of electricity by opening or closing the circuit. When the switch is closed, it allows electricity to flow through the circuit, and when it is open, it stops the flow of electricity. Switches are commonly used to turn devices on and off.
If you start at the negative end of the battery what will happen to the electrons when a closed circuit turn on a light?
When you start at the negative end of the battery, you start to lose electrons and the circuit is closed.
What happens to the compass needle when you place it in the wire loop when the circuit was turn on?
it point same way as magnetic field
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
Why is a light bulb not on when a switch is not closed?
A closed switch completes the electrical circuit, allowing current to flow through the light bulb and generate light. If the switch is not closed, there is an open circuit, meaning the current cannot flow and the light bulb does not turn on.
Will a light bulb turn on or off when it is touched by a conductor to complete the circuit?
If a light bulb is touched by a conductor to complete the circuit, it will turn on if the circuit is closed and working properly. The conductor helps to create a path for the electricity to flow from the power source to the light bulb, allowing it to illuminate.
What does it mean when the circuit is opened?
Its means there is no continuity between point Ato point B. Ex. A light switch : When the switch is off it opens the circuit and electricity does not get to the light, when the switch is on the circuit is closed and the light will turn on.
Is an open switch in an electrical circuit to prevent current flow?
Yes, an open switch breaks the circuit and prevents electricity flowing through. A closed switch on the other hand completes the circuit and in turn helps electricity travel through the circuit.
What seems to be making the light bulb turn on in your circuit?
The light bulb in the circuit turns on due to the flow of electric current, which is facilitated by a closed circuit. When the switch is closed, it completes the circuit, allowing electrons to move from the power source through the bulb, causing it to emit light. The resistance in the bulb converts electrical energy into light and heat, resulting in illumination.
Why does the light turn on as soon as you flip the lightswitch?
The light is connected in a electrical circuit. The electricity will only pass through the circuit if the circuit is closed. A switch can open and close this circuit by simply not making contact with the next wire so the electricity can not be passed on. When you turn on the switch, the circuit gets closed again and the electricity will run through, so to the light. Because electricity has the speed of light (+-300 000 km/h) it will seems like the electricity reaches the light immediately. Plus the neutral travels through the filement of the bulb and down the switch wire giving an instant closed circuit when switch is closed
What happens when a switch circuit is opened?
When a switch is closed the path through the circuit is continuous.
