What is converted when a light switch is turned on?

Answer 1

The switch completes the circuit, it is no longer interrupted, thus creating electrical current through the switch area. A power grid is just a giant circuit with many resistors and switches. The switch is an interrupting device in which the power of a grid flow by a certain area instead of through it.

Answer 2

Light from a light bulb is continually being released by a process known as incandescance. This process makes the filament inside the bulb glow. As it glows the light that comes out either gets absorbed by objects in the room, which look dark or black, or bounce off objects and hit your eyes and look like lighter shades of gray, or colors. When the switch is turned off, the bulb doesn't release any more light, so whatever is left over from when it was glowing gets absorbed into the walls, tables, chairs, carpet, and you.

Answer 3

if it can escape the room it will continue on until it hits and obsitcle, at which points it disapates on impact due to its speed and inability to penetrate the object

Answer 4

You are closing the circuit and allowing the current to flow to the load.

Answer 5

The switch opens the wired connection from the power source to the light bulb and the current stops flowing. If no electrons are flowing through the filament, no light can be produced.

Answer 6

Electrical energy is converted into heat and light energy.

Answer 7

when you turn off the lights your saving energy

Answer 8

It completes the circuit and allows electricity to flow to whatever the switch controls.

Answer 9

The light turns off.
