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.

What do relay and circuit breakers use?
No. A relay is an electric switch and a circuit breaker is an overcurrent device.
What is a switch in a circuit?
A switch is a non automatic mechanical device capable of opening or closing a circuit under normal load conditions
What are the examples of electronic tools and equipments and their functions?
One example of a circuit device is a switch. It is used to stop and start current flow in a circuit.
What are thermal transistors?
Thermal transistor is an efficient heat control device which can act as a heat switch as well as a heat modulator.
What device is considered as intermediary device?
switch
What is a device used to open and close an electric circuit?
The device is called a switch.
What is a Synonym for switch?
electric switch, electrical switch, control, controller
What device opens and closes an electric circuit?
A switch is a device that is used to open and close an electrical circuit that is is connected into.
What is the function of electric circuit control device?
the function of the control device is that you can know if the circuit is on or off
What is the control device for a simple circuit?
Switch
How can you build a remote control electronic device that will press a button?
You build an electronic device to control a transistor switch that causes a mechanical device to push the switch. Now days we bypass the mechanical switch and the circuit can do the switching.
How do you spell switch?
Switch is the correct spelling (a change, a device to turn electric current on or off).
What is the purpose of a taser gun?
A taser gun is an electronic device that has two electric leads on the front of the device and a control switch to create a current. The device has the ability to stun a person when they come in contact between the lead, completing the circuit.
Do you have to use electrical relays?
If the switch or other control device cannot safely and reliably handle the full current of the device you are trying to control, then yes. If the switch or other control device must be electrically isolated from the controlled device or its power supply, then yes. If the switch or other control device is physically very far from the controlled device, and running full-current wiring all the way to and from the switch would be impractical or physically impossible, then yes.
How do you say switch in spanish?
switch as an electric device it´s "interruptor"switch as in change it´s "cambia"
Does a switch control the flow in an electric current?
Yes
What is a tbs switch?
A TBS switch is an air switch that has only one control function. They control the functions of electronic devices from locations that are not near the device.
