What else can I help you with?
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.
What happened what happens when a switch in a circuit is open?
it prevents electricity to flow. i hope that is right
What do you call a circuit when the switch is open?
An open circuit....
Used to open and close a circuit?
A light switch
What can be put into a circuit to open the circuit?
A switch.
What happens if you move a switch and the circuit wires are not all connected?
When a switch is open (wires not connected) it is considered off. When a switch is closed it is considered on. If you move a switch and the wires are not connected the the circuit is open and current cannot run throughout the circuit to power the device.
What happens if the switch is open in a parallel circuit?
If the switch in a parallel circuit is open, it breaks the circuit and interrupts the flow of current for that particular branch. The other branches in the parallel circuit remain unaffected and continue to operate independently.
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.
When a switch is on is a circuit open or closed?
If the switch is what is keeping the load from turning on, then yes, there is a voltage across the open switch.
What is a open switch circuit?
An open switch circuit is a circuit where the switch is in the "off" position or where the circuit is not complete, preventing the flow of electricity through the circuit. This results in no current flowing and no electrical devices being powered or functioning.
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 happens when you open a switch in a series crcuit?
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.
