A switch in a circuit will quickly allow you to break the circuit, without changing the wiring. For example, a light switch. By turning a light switch off, you are breaking the circuit and, thus, turning the light off.
In a torch (flashlight), the current passes from the positive terminal, through the bulb, and returns back in the negative terminals, making a complete circuit. When the switch is moved to the on position, a metal piece inside the case touches the positive terminals of the battery, the circuit is completed, and the torch turns on. Move the switch to the off position, the metal piece no longer touches the positive terminals of the battery, and the torch turns off.
When the switch is open, the circuit is not a complete circuit. Electricity needs a complete circuit of conductive material. The switch breaks the circuit causing the flow of electricity to be disrupted. When you close the switch, a full circuit is restored thus restoring the flow of electricity.
A switch is a make - break device. Its function is a circuit is to make and break the current flow of the circuit that it is in. This action then starts and stops the load that is connected in the circuit.
If the circuit is complete then it shouldn't matter where the switch is located. All a switch is specifically is a segment of the circuit that can be connected and disconected.

the switch in a torch allows the circuit in the torch to be completed
The conducting path of a torch is a simple circuit: Battery to switch, switch to bulb, bulb back to battery. Provided the switch is on, and there are no breaks in the circuit wiring (and the bulb is good), the torch should work.
Closing the switch in a torch completes the electrical circuit, allowing current to flow from the battery to the bulb. When the switch is open, the circuit is broken, preventing electricity from reaching the bulb and keeping it off. By closing the switch, you enable the flow of electricity, which powers the bulb and turns the torch on.
A torch is simply a circuit containing a battery, a bulb and a switch. The three components are connected in series (one after the other) to form a loop. The switch simply completes the circuit so that power flows from the battery to the bulb.

The switch in a torch controls the flow of electricity to the light bulb. When the switch is turned on, it completes the circuit and allows the electricity to pass through, lighting up the bulb. Turning the switch off breaks the circuit, stopping the flow of electricity and turning off the light.
A torch may switch off for several reasons, including depleted batteries, a faulty switch, or a damaged bulb. When the batteries run low on charge, they cannot provide sufficient power to keep the light on. Additionally, physical damage or wear to the switch or electrical connections can interrupt the circuit, preventing the torch from functioning properly. Regular maintenance and battery replacement can help avoid these issues.
The job of a bulb is to give off heat and light energy
To switch on a Rolson mini torch, locate the power switch, usually found on the side or back of the torch. Slide or press the switch to the "On" position. If the torch has multiple brightness settings, you may need to cycle through them by pressing the switch again. Ensure the torch has working batteries for it to function properly.
The conducting link between the cell and the bulb in a torch is the wires inside the circuit. When the switch is turned on, the circuit is completed, allowing the electrical current to flow from the cell through the wires and to the bulb, causing it to light up.
