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 television what is the electrical circuit?
The electrical circuit when turned on it is considered closed. By the same token when an electrical circuit is turned off the electrical circuit is considered open.
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
When you turn the key to start the car it will not turn over and there is no power to anything?
It is most likely a dead battery, especially if there is no power for lights or the radio. Check and clean the battery terminals because corrosion can break the electrical circuit.
The radio in your 1993 XJS convertable will only come on when you turn on the head lights?
Because the radio is wired into the headlight circuit instead of the accessory circuit.
Why do you need a motor in a circuit?
to turn electrical potential into mechanical work/motion.
What is the Difference between circuit and parallel circuit?
A series circuit is one in which the current must pass through all the electrical devices in the circuit in turn. A parallel circuit is one in which the current passes through each electrical device on the circuit following separate, independent path from all other devices on the circuit, one for each electrical device.
Why is electrical to sound energy taking place when you turn on a radio?
Electrical signals from the radio's circuitry energizes the voice coil of the speaker, which moves the cone of the speaker, that in turn disturbs air particles in its proximity, creating sound.
What type of transformation takes place when you turn on a radio?
The answer is sound energy to electrical energy!
When you plug a radio into an outlet and turn it on you hear sound What type of energy transformation is taking place?
The main energy-changes are as follows: Chemical (in the battery) to electrical Electrical to sound
Can you describe a situation where a series circuit could be used to operate an electrical device?
Every time that you turn on a light with a switch would be a situation where a series circuit could be used to operate an electrical device.
Does a radio converts from electrical energy to sound energy?
yes. because you have to plug in the radio which is electrical and then when you turn on the radio it produces sound. even if it's a battery powered radio, the battery stores energy in the form of chemical energy, but delivers it as electrical energy, so even in that radio, the radio is converting electrical energy to sound energy when you turn on the radio. What about an old-fashioned "crystal set" that has no battery and doesn't plug into the wall ? Even that one converts electrical energy into sound. The only electrical energy it ever gets is what it picks out of the air that got transmitted from the radio station. That's very very little energy, which is why the sound from a crystal set is always so weak.
