yes because its connected to the mains electricity which is energy(i think)

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.
Why it is often not practical to connect the electric components (example of lights) in series?
In a series circuit, if one of the light's filiments opens the bulb will go out, but along with that light every other device in the same circuit will stop operating.Think of an electric light circuit, in your home, that is controlled by a switch. When the switch is turned off the light goes out. This is an example of a series circuit where ithe switch is in series with the lamp.
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 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.
Used to open and close a circuit?
A light switch
What is the function of the switch in circuit?
A switch simply opens a circuit, stopping the flow of electricity. For example: a simple circuit would be two wires from a battery, one of which goes to a switch, and the other goes to a light bulb. A third wire goes from the other side of the switch to the other conductor of the light bulb. With the switch closed the circuit is complete and the light goes on. Open the switch and the circuit is broken and the light goes off.
What is the function of switch in the circuit?
A switch simply opens a circuit, stopping the flow of electricity. For example: a simple circuit would be two wires from a battery, one of which goes to a switch, and the other goes to a light bulb. A third wire goes from the other side of the switch to the other conductor of the light bulb. With the switch closed the circuit is complete and the light goes on. Open the switch and the circuit is broken and the light goes off.
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.
Where does the cuurent go when you switch the light switch off?
Nowhere. That's why the light goes out. Switching a light switch off breaks the circuit, and without a complete circuit, no electricity flows through the lamp.
What happens to an electric current at a light switch?
When an electrical switch is in the off position, the circuit is interrupted. When the switch is on, the circuit is open and complete.
Why does a circuit need a switch?
If a circuit has no switch then it remains 'on' permanently. If you desire to open or close a circuit, for turning on or turning off a light for example, you need some kind of switch.
When the switch is closed which light bulb will light light bulb 1 2 or 3?
It depend on where the switch is located in the circuit.
