Electricity is not the same as electric light. Electricity is the flow of electrons from one atom to the next. As electrons travel through the filament of a light bulb the resistance of the filament opposes the flow of current, which creates heat. The filament will heat up so much that it produces a visible light.

You say "turn on the light" because that is what you do. Turning on a light means to flip the electric switch from "off" (where there is no electricity and the light is dark) to "on" (where there is electricity and the light is glowing).


How does an electric light switch work to control the flow of electricity to a light fixture?

An electric light switch works by interrupting or completing the circuit that allows electricity to flow to a light fixture. When the switch is turned on, it closes the circuit, allowing electricity to flow and the light to turn on. When the switch is turned off, it opens the circuit, cutting off the flow of electricity and turning the light off.


What Object that converts electricity to light?

How a room is lighted by just pushing an electric switch?

When an electric switch is pushed, it completes a circuit that allows electricity to flow to the light fixture in the room. The electricity energizes the light bulb, causing it to emit light. The light then illuminates the room, allowing you to see.
