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.
What device is used for turning a circuit on or off?
Circuit breaker or switch
Can a switch in the off position cause electrical short circuit?
No, once the switch is turned off the circuit is de energized. A de energized circuit can not be shorted out to create a fault.
In a circuit the purpose of a switch is to?
In a circuit, the purpose of a switch is to control the current flow to the load by opening the circuit (off) or closing the circuit (on). When the circuit is open, the is no complete loop through which the current can flow. When the switch closes the circuit, it restores the loop, and thus allows the current to flow.
What is a open switch circuit?
When a switch is 'open' that means it is in the 'off' position. 'Closed' means 'on'.
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!
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 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.
How a switch works when it is on and off?
The basic answer is that when it is off, the circuit is broken, when it is on, the circuit is complete. Example: _/_ is off ___ is on
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.

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.
How does a switching on and off can be done in a sequence of loght for example in a miniature lighting circuit we put in a marriage function?
switching on the tourch for example is when as you switch it on it will move the switch connecting it to a circuit that lights up the bulb and when you switch the switch off the switch will move breaking 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.
