You have to install a device known as a "clapper" into your receptacle outlet. Plug your lamp into this device. It is sound activated. When you clap your hands the device senses the frequency of the clap and activated its internal circuitry. This closes a relay that supplies voltage to the lamp and it turns on.

What type of a circuit do flashlights use?

A flashlight is a series circuit. The batteries positive end connects to the flashlights switch. The switch connects to the center pin of the light bulb. The bulb filament is connected to the center pin of the bulb and the outer metal shell of the bulb socket. The shell of the bulb socket is connected to the metal flashlight's body which returns to the negative end of the battery. Turn on the switch and you have light.


What is clap switch?

A clap switch is an electronic device that can be turned off and on by clapping the hands. This type of switch is commonly used in lighting.


How do you draw aparallelciurcut with 2 light bulbs and a closed switch that controls one light?

Draw two parallel vertical lines on a piece of paper. Visualize these as a left side and a right side of an upright ladder. The left side will be called the "hot" wire and the right side will be the neutral wire. The cross pieces in this diagram will be the rungs of the ladder. Draw a line from the left hand side of the ladder to the right hand side of the ladder. Insert into this rung one of the two light bulbs. Below this rung copy the above rung with the second light bulb. Into this second rung insert a switch in series with the second bulb. When the complete circuit is powered on the first bulb will light and depending on the position of the switch in the second rung, the second bulb will light if the switch is closed. If the switch in the second rung is open the bulb will not light. This will be the drawing that your scenario suggests.


What do you need to make a simple series circuit to light a bulb?

To make a simple series circuit to light a bulb, the simplest components are a power source (such as a battery); a switch (to turn the power on or off); the bulb (obviously !); and some wires to connect everything together.


What could you add to the circuit to control the bulb?

Switch

Can a clapper turn on a light switch?

There are such devices that, when clapping, can turn on or off.


How does a light bulb dimmer switch work to adjust the brightness of a light bulb?

A light bulb dimmer switch works by controlling the amount of electricity flowing to the light bulb. By adjusting the voltage, the dimmer switch can regulate the brightness of the light bulb.


When the switch is closed which light bulb will light light bulb 1 2 or 3?

It depend on where the switch is located in the circuit.


How can I control a wireless light bulb with a switch?

To control a wireless light bulb with a switch, you can use a smart light bulb that is compatible with a smart home system or a wireless light bulb kit. Install the smart light bulb in the light fixture and connect it to the wireless network. Then, use a smart switch or a smartphone app to turn the light bulb on and off wirelessly.


Why does the light bulb stay on when the switch is off?

When the light bulb stays on when the switch is off, it is likely due to a wiring issue or a faulty switch that is not properly cutting off the electricity flow to the bulb.


Why is a light bulb not on when a switch is not closed?

A closed switch completes the electrical circuit, allowing current to flow through the light bulb and generate light. If the switch is not closed, there is an open circuit, meaning the current cannot flow and the light bulb does not turn on.

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


What switches must be closed in order for the light bulb to light up?

To light up the bulb, the two-way switch must be closed in the on position at both the 'Switch 1' location and the 'Switch 2' location. This will complete the circuit and allow electricity to flow to the light bulb, turning it on.


Why does a light bulb light up immediately after you turn on a switch even if the switch was a long way from the bulb?

When you flip the switch, it completes the electrical circuit and allows current to flow instantly through the wires to reach the light bulb, causing it to light up. The speed of electricity traveling through wires is almost instantaneous, so the light bulb lights up immediately after the switch is turned on, regardless of the distance from the switch to the bulb.
