Yes, a switch is a device that stops and starts current flow in a circuit.
A switch basically represents a gap in the electric circuit. Electric current can pass through a circuit only if it is complete. An incomplete circuit can never pass a current through it. When the switch is in the 'off' position, the circuit has a break (gap) in it. When you put the switch in 'on' position, the circuit wire join and the circuit gets completed.
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.
They can be used as a kind of safety switch to allow a circuit with a small current through to switch on a circuit that will hve a larger current flowing through it.
No, it opens the circuit so that no current flows.
Removing a bulb - or opening the switch - breaks the flow of current in a series circuit.
In a circuit, the purpose of a switch is to control the current flow to the load by opening the circuit (off) or closing the circuit (on). When the circuit is open, the is no complete loop through which the current can flow. When the switch closes the circuit, it restores the loop, and thus allows the current to flow.
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.

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.
this is a circuit in which the switch is located before the load in the circuit
When an electrical switch is in the off position, the circuit is interrupted. When the switch is on, the circuit is open and complete.
A switch is installed in a circuit to stop the current flow. Without the switch there is no way to disconnect the operation of the circuit's load. In modern households the switch is a convenient way to control room lighting from a convenient location. Without switches the circuit power would have to be controlled from the service distribution panel's breakers. In this scenario the breaker would be in the same class as a switch.
A switch is used of stop the current flow in a circuit and the bulb can be classed as the load in a circuit.
They can be used as a kind of safety switch to allow a circuit with a small current through to switch on a circuit that will hve a larger current flowing through it.
A relay is an electrical switch. It allows a low current "switch" circuit to control the electricity flow of a high-current circuit load
