It moves to equalise a potential difference
If the switch is open, current does not flow.
current through the switch become 0.and switch become a high value resistor.
current through the switch become 0.and switch become a high value resistor.
When an electrical switch is in the off position, the circuit is interrupted. When the switch is on, the circuit is open and complete.
At a switch, the electric current can be opened (turned off) or closed (turned on) depending on the position of the switch. When the switch is opened, the circuit is broken, and no current flows. When the switch is closed, the circuit is complete, and current can flow through the circuit.
Circuit Breaker.
The electric charges flow without any interruption's

The current to the load stops flowing and the load device stops operating.
it prevents electricity to flow. i hope that is right
A closed series circuit is one where the current flows through all devices in the circuit. Opening a switch prevents current from flowing in the circuit and it becomes simply an "open circuit". Any device that operates with current (light, LED, motor, etc) will no longer function.
When you open a switch to a light for example, you cause a break in the flow of current to the light. Opening a light switch means you are turning the light off by stopping the flow of current to it. Closing a switch means you have completed a circuit (basically a loop) and current now flows causing the light to go on. Think of electricity like water. To cause your bath tub to fill up (light on) you have to also complete the circuit by turning the tap. Now we have water flow. (current) To stop the flow of water, we want to open the circuit by turning the tap in the opposite direction causing a break in the flow of water.
