There could be a series of problems. First, are all the wires hooked up? Is the bulb burned out? Is it just the switch that is not working? You should go and put in a new bulb, and see if it was just burned out.

What circuit do you need for two switches one bulb?
wiring diagram of one bulb in two switches.. example, if switch a- on then switch b- off the bulb is on, switch a- off then switch b- on the bulb is on, switch a- on then switch b- on the bulb is off, switch a- off then switch b- off the bulb is off..
What will happen if the two switches connected to light up a single bulb are on?
It is dependant on whether the switches are in wired in a parallel or series configuration. If the switches are wires in parallel then both switches would have to be off to turn the light bulb off. Either switch could turn the light bulb on. If the switches are wired in series then both switches would have to be on to turn the light bulb on. Either switch could turn the light bulb off.
What job does a switch do in a circuit?
It opens and closes a circuit and it makes the bulb turn off and on and it completes a circuit when it is closed.
What does the on and off switch do on an electrical circuit?
When you turn It off it breaks the circuit. When it is turned on it closes the circuit. To have a light bulb turn on it need to have continuity. Hope that helps
When the switch is closed which light bulb will light light bulb 1 2 or 3?
It depend on where the switch is located in the circuit.

What is the difference if a switch is before or after a bulb in a circuit?
It is a safety concern. With the switch before the bulb, the bulb is completely isolated from the potential source when the switch is turned off. With the switch behind the bulb, even if the switch is turned off, the potential source is still at the bulb. If any of these lamp holder parts touch the ground when removing the bulb the circuit will short out and trip the breaker. If you are grounded and touch any of the lamp holder parts you will get a nasty shock.
What is on off switch?
Say it is a power circuit, a light bulb is bright from the battery, flowing through the wires and the light bulb. There is a switch controling the power that goes through, so if you switched the off switch off, the power will no longer be flowing through(the light bulb wouldn't be bright any longer).

How do you make a black light bulb?
switch lights off
Why bulb does not work when fitted in a circuit with switch?
because you are switch the hot leg, so it can be turn on an off.
How does circuit stop flowing when light bulb switch is off?
The simplist answers is that electricity needs to complete a circuit fully. It stops flowing because there is no complete circuit. The switch is a device for opening and closing the circuit. When the switch is in the off position the circuit is said to be open and electricity cannot flow.
When the switch is off why does your CFL bulb pulse when used in light fixture controlled by a 3 way lighted switch?
The bulb "pulses" because the circuit is not completely off. If the CF bulb is pulsing or flashing, it means that there is some kind of feedback loop providing at least some voltage to the bulb. Often lighted switches use the filament resistance to provide voltage to the internal bulb. Get rid of the lighted switch.
How does light turn on and off with no switch and light and no wires?
Perhaps by unscrewing the bulb light.

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
Three light switches one room and one light bulb you can only go in it once what light switch turn the light bulb on it has something to do with the temperatur.?
turn 2 switches on wait one minute, turn one off go in the room if the bulb is off and warm it was the last one you turned off if its cold its the one you didnt touch and if its on its the only switch left on.
Does electricity flow through a light when the light is turned off?
The OFF position on the light switch interrupts the flow of electricity to the light bulb. If the switch is ON, there is always electricity at the light socket, even when the light bulb is removed. if the lamp is still pluged in electricity is still flowing through the lamp even if it is off or on
