What happens when a switch circuit is opened?

When a switch is closed the path through the circuit is continuous.


What happens to an electric current at a switch?

At a switch, the electric current can be opened (turned off) or closed (turned on) depending on the position of the switch. When the switch is opened, the circuit is broken, and no current flows. When the switch is closed, the circuit is complete, and current can flow through the circuit.


If you unscrewed the second bulb in the series circuit when it was on explain what happens to the first?

Unscrewing any bulb in a series circuit turns them all off. This is the same as opening the switch that controls them.


What happens when you open a switch in a series crcuit?

A closed series circuit is one where the current flows through all devices in the circuit. Opening a switch prevents current from flowing in the circuit and it becomes simply an "open circuit". Any device that operates with current (light, LED, motor, etc) will no longer function.


How do you add a switch to a series circuit?

usually in series


What happens to the current through bulb 2 if the switch s is opened?

If switch S is opened, the current through bulb 2 will decrease and eventually stop flowing because the circuit is broken. Bulb 2 is connected in parallel to bulb 1 and both bulbs have the same voltage across them, so when the circuit is opened, current stops flowing through both bulbs.

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.


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.


How does removing bulb or opening and closing the switch affect a series circuit?

Removing a bulb - or opening the switch - breaks the flow of current in a series circuit.


When a circuit is opened what happens?

Nothing. An open circuit means no current is flowing. When the circuit is closed, current flows, the filament of the bulb is heated by the current and glows, giving off light. But when the circuit is open, nothing happens.


A series circuit contains four light bulbs. The switch is opened and one of the bulbs is removed but not replaced. Then the switch is closed again. What would you expect to see?

In a series circuit, all components are connected in a single path, so if one bulb is removed, the circuit is broken. When the switch is closed after removing the bulb, the circuit remains open, and none of the light bulbs will light up. Thus, all the bulbs will remain off until the removed bulb is replaced or the circuit is otherwise completed.
