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.
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. This is a Study Island answer
What will happen if you hold a mercury thermometer from its bulb?
is it dangeorous to hold a thermometer from its bulb
What will happen to a bulb when you move it closer to the battery on a circuit?
Nothing special should happen. What matters for the bulb is the voltage difference between its ends.
Three different bulbs are connected in series when switch is closed the last bulb does not glow why?
because the switch is closed
Why does the bulb not light up until you press the switch?
the bulb will light up when current flows thru it if the switch is open no flow will take place
Why will a bulb not light if a switch is open in a circuit?
It will not work because it has to be closed so the electricity can go to the bulb.
If you wired up the circuit with a bulb two batteries and a switch with a thin wire what will happen?
the bulb will light up
What will happen if someone only connect one of the wires to the bulb holder?
If someone only connect one of the wires to the bulb holder, the circuit will be open and the lamp will not light. This is the same principal that a switch in the circuit does. It opens and closes the circuit.
How does removing a bulb or opening and closing the switch affect a parallel circuit?
it is because the energy flows through the switch and it makes the light bulb turn on and if the switch is open the energy will not flow it will stay in the place the switch begins
What bulbs glow when switch A is closed and switches B and C are open?
it's bulb 3
What describes electricity flowing from a battery though a switch to a light bulb?
Circuit Electrons flow form the positive end of the battery through the wire connecting the positive terminal to a switch. The other end of the switch is connected to one terminal on the bulb, the other terminal of the bulb is connected to the negative end of the battery. No electrons (current) flows as long as the switch is open. Once the switch is closed and if the battery has enough voltage and current capacity to make the filament in the bulb glow, then the bulb emits light (together with wasted heat). If the switch is open, no current flows through the entire circuit and the bulb does not glow.
What is the resistance when switch is open?
Nothing will happen to the resistance of the circuit. However, with the switch open, it will be 'seen' as having infinite resistance from the supply side.
If lamp switch is ON and if you remove the lamp bulb we still wasting electrict?
no because when you remove the lamp the circuit is still open; even if the switch is on
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.
Why doesn't the interior lights turn on when I open the door on a 2000 Mercedes E430?
Fuse, bulb, wiring, door switch, switch on overhead light.
If a light bulb is burned out and the switch is on are you still using electricity?
A standard filament bulb works on the principle that it gets hot and glows when a current is passed through it. If the filament has burned out (blown) it is open circuit and no current can flow. Therefore you are not using any electricity even if the switch is still on It may still use power if it is a lighted switch. Find a licensed electrician at www.contraxtor.com
