Yes. There are more than 1 paths for electricity to flow.
What else can I help you with?
What happens if the switch is open in a parallel circuit?
If the switch in a parallel circuit is open, it breaks the circuit and interrupts the flow of current for that particular branch. The other branches in the parallel circuit remain unaffected and continue to operate independently.
If a switch is said to be open will a curcuit work?
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.
What position does the switch have to be in for a circuit to work?
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.
Why a circuit will not work if the switch is off?
Current flow path is open.
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.
Can series circuits work when a switch is open?
No. Since the switch is in series with the circuit, opening it blocks the current flow through the circuit, turning it off.
What is the difference between open and close switch?
In an open circuit no cuttent can flow so the switch would have to be in the off position- the switch is open and not completing the circuit. A closed circuit is one where current can flow all the way through, the switch would have to on and therefore closed.
How does a switch work in a circuit to control 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.
Is a switch needed to make a circuit work?
Yes, a switch is needed to control the flow of electricity in a circuit. It allows you to open or close the circuit, which determines whether the electrical current can flow through it or not. Without a switch, the circuit would be always on and the device connected to it would not be able to be turned off.
What is a complex circuit where some of the bulbs can work while others don't work?
A parallel circuit.
An appliance does not work at all when plug it in and turn the switch what happen to the appliance circuit is?
There could be several reasons why the appliance does not work when plugged in and the switch is turned on. It is possible that there is a loose connection in the circuit, a blown fuse, a malfunctioning component, or a faulty switch. A qualified electrician should be consulted to properly diagnose and fix the issue.
What does a switch do in its circuit?
A switch allows the circuit to have a break in it therefor making it not work. It stops the flow of electrons.
