To run a 3-way switch in a circuit, you need two 3-way switches and one 4-way switch. Connect the power source to the common terminal of the first 3-way switch. Then, connect the travelers from the first switch to the travelers on the second switch. Finally, connect the common terminal of the second switch to the light fixture. This setup allows you to control the light from two different locations.

How is one light controlled by three switches?

That is called a 4 way light switch circuit. On each end of the circuit you install a 3way switch and in the middle you install a 4 way switch.Answer using British TerminologyIn the UK, 'three-way' switches are called 'two-way' switches (more logical, if you think about it!), and the 'four-way' switch is called an 'intermediate' switch.

What happens if you move a switch and the circuit wires are not all connected?

When a switch is open (wires not connected) it is considered off. When a switch is closed it is considered on. If you move a switch and the wires are not connected the the circuit is open and current cannot run throughout the circuit to power the device.


How can I create a switch loop in an electrical circuit?

To create a switch loop in an electrical circuit, you need to run a cable from the power source to the switch, and then another cable from the switch to the light fixture. Connect the wires according to the wiring diagram for the specific type of switch you are using. This setup allows you to control the light fixture from the switch.

What happened when you turned on the switch of the light?

A switch is placed in an electrical circuit in order to place a gap when the switch is off, so the circuit is broken. When the switch is on, the circuit is complete and the electricity can flow round the circuit.


How do you run a three-way switch in a residential electrical circuit?

To run a three-way switch in a residential electrical circuit, you need two switches and one light fixture. Connect the power source to the common terminal of one switch, then connect the travelers to the other terminals of both switches. Finally, connect the light fixture to the common terminal of the second switch. This setup allows you to control the light from either switch.


How does a circuit turn a switch on and off?

A switch makes a physical break in the electric circuit. With the circuit broken the electricity can not flow. When the switch is turned the other way the circuit is completed and the current/electricity can flow.


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.


Where can i place the switch in the lemon circuit?

Not sure what you mean with "lemon circuit", but in an electrical circuit, the switch can be just about anywhere.


What does a switch do to effect a series circuit?

For an electrical circuit to keep going, it cannot be interrupted. When the switch is adjusted, the electrical flow is interrupted. Move the switch again and the flow is restored. Without a switch a circuit is no longer considered a complete circuit. Simple fifth grade science.
