The actual term for switch is to turn a light on and off.
Another term for it is that you can put in a circuit board and when it is joined to the other side the electricity will flow through and when it is unattached the electricity will not flow through.

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.
When a switch in an electrical circuit is turned off what will happen?
Closing a switch in an electrical circuit will complete the circuit. The supply voltage will then be applied to that circuit, and current will flow through that circuit.
Where can i place the switch in the lemon circuit?
Not sure what you mean with "lemon circuit", but in an electrical circuit, the switch can be just about anywhere.

How does a switch control the flow of electricity?
When the switch is open, the circuit is not a complete circuit. Electricity needs a complete circuit of conductive material. The switch breaks the circuit causing the flow of electricity to be disrupted. When you close the switch, a full circuit is restored thus restoring the flow of electricity.
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.
