Current flow path is open.
The switch needs to be in the "on" position for the circuit to work, allowing the flow of electricity through the circuit. In the "off" position, the switch breaks the circuit, stopping the flow of electricity.
because you are switch the hot leg, so it can be turn on an off.
A circuit will not work if a switch is open, be because it is not allowing the electricity to flow. Where as if it was closed it would give the electricity a sealed off path to flow through.
No. Since the switch is in series with the circuit, opening it blocks the current flow through the circuit, turning it off.
A switch makes a physical break in the electric circuit. With the circuit broken the electricity can not flow. When the switch is turned the other way the circuit is completed and the current/electricity can flow.
A light switch fills(on) or makes (off) a gap in an electrical circuit.
Yes, a circuit can work without a switch if it is designed to be always on or if the components are connected directly without the need for a switch to control the flow of current. However, in many applications, a switch is necessary to control when the circuit is on or off.
The on and off switch controls the flow of electricity in the circuit. When the switch is on, it completes the circuit and allows electricity to flow through. When the switch is off, it breaks the circuit and stops the flow of electricity.
A switch in a circuit works by opening or closing a pathway for electricity to flow. When the switch is closed, it completes the circuit and allows electricity to flow through. When the switch is open, it breaks the circuit and stops the flow of electricity. This control of the flow of electricity allows the switch to turn devices on and off in a circuit.
The switch may be off or there is a break in the wire that stopped the electron flow in the circuit
A switch can create a gap in a circuit causing the circuit to turn on or off!
When you turn your radio on and off, you are simply flicking the switch in the circuit, the same as any circuit with a switch in it. When you turn it on, the switch completes the circuit, and current can flow around the circuit.
