False
Why does a light switch turn on your lights?
A light switch turns on lights because when flipped, it completes a complete circuit.
When you turn the heat switch to heat it clicks and will not heat up?
that is true
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
Most flashlights have series circuits true or false?
Yes. Most flashlights have a series circuit involving a battery, a switch, and a bulb. More complex variants might have two bulbs in parallel, two or more bulbs on two switches, etc. but the basic principle is a series circuit - turn the switch on and the bulb illuminates.
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!
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...!
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 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
What does the on and off switch do on an electrical circuit?
When you turn It off it breaks the circuit. When it is turned on it closes the circuit. To have a light bulb turn on it need to have continuity. Hope that helps
