A lamp shuts off when you turn off the light switch because the switch interrupts the electrical circuit supplying power to the lamp. When the switch is in the "off" position, it breaks the flow of electricity, preventing current from reaching the lamp's bulb. Consequently, the bulb cannot produce light, resulting in the lamp turning off.
