When you move the switch of a flashlight to on the light goes on When you move it to off the light goes off How does this happen?

The switch in the "on" position closes the circuit, and the electricity flows through the flashlight bulb.

If you turn on a flashlight while on a spaceship going the speed of light what speed is the light from the flashlight moving at?
c - Light goes at c in all frames of reference according to Special relativity
What is the function of switch in the circuit?
A switch simply opens a circuit, stopping the flow of electricity. For example: a simple circuit would be two wires from a battery, one of which goes to a switch, and the other goes to a light bulb. A third wire goes from the other side of the switch to the other conductor of the light bulb. With the switch closed the circuit is complete and the light goes on. Open the switch and the circuit is broken and the light goes off.
What energy transformation takes place in a flashlight?
Battery (chemical energy) goes to the wires (electrical energy) which goes to the light bulb (thermal and electromagnetic energy. In the bulb of a traditional flashlight, electric current energy is transformed to heat and then partially to light, when the temperature of the filament in the bulb is sufficient. In an LED type flashlight, little heat is produced and more of the electrical current energy is transformed into light.
What will happen to light that goes through different media with different density?
The light ray will be refracted.
What will happen when a ray light is on a glass block?
Some will be reflected, and what goes through will be refracted.

When does chemical change happen on a flashlight to produce electricity?
It happens when you turn on the flashlight and a circuit is created through the batteries, through the light filament, back down the outside of the batteries to the end of the batteries, etc. Switching off the flashlight breaks the circuit, curtails the chemical reaction in the batteries, and the light goes out.
What is the function of the switch in circuit?
A switch simply opens a circuit, stopping the flow of electricity. For example: a simple circuit would be two wires from a battery, one of which goes to a switch, and the other goes to a light bulb. A third wire goes from the other side of the switch to the other conductor of the light bulb. With the switch closed the circuit is complete and the light goes on.

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.

Why does Brake light goes out when headlights are on?
probably bad headlight switch,the break light wires run through the headlight switch
Where does the cuurent go when you switch the light switch off?
Nowhere. That's why the light goes out. Switching a light switch off breaks the circuit, and without a complete circuit, no electricity flows through the lamp.
What could be wrong if your swimming pool light goes on by itself?
You probably need to replace the light switch
What will happen if the light of theolympic torch goes out?
it will be lit again
Brake light comes on but goes off after car is restarted?
Could be the switch
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.
