Why does a light switch turn on your lights?
A light switch turns on lights because when flipped, it completes a complete circuit.
Is it true or false that a switch is used to turn a circuit on or off?
It is true that a switch is used to open and close a circut.
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

Diagram of a closed 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
An appliance does not work at all when plug it in and turn the switch what happen to the appliance circuit is?
If an appliance does not work at all when you plug it in and turn the switch on the appliance circuit is not on.
What are you doing to the electrical circuit in your radio when you turn the radio off and on?
When you turn your radio on and off, you are simply flicking the switch in the circuit, the same as any circuit with a switch in it. When you turn it on, the switch completes the circuit, and current can flow around the circuit.

When you turn on a light switch you an open circuit. What goes in the blank?
When you turn on a light switch you do not have an open circuit.
What does a switch do in a curcuit?
A switch can create a gap in a circuit causing the circuit to turn on or off!
When you turn on a light or other electric appliance you close a circuit?
This statement is correct.
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.
Why a switch might be added to a circuit?
So you can turn it on... and you can turn it off...!
Which is the safest position for the switch to turn an appliance on and off?
the safest position for a switch is on the live wire and not on the neutral wire
What job does a switch do in a circuit?
It opens and closes a circuit and it makes the bulb turn off and on and it completes a circuit when it is closed.
When you flip a switch to turn on a light?
Complete the conducting circuit
When you flip a switch to turn on a light you?
Complete the conducting circuit
