What happens when the switch is open in a circuit containing wires a light bulb a switch and a battery?
When you open a switch to a light for example, you cause a break in the flow of current to the light. Opening a light switch means you are turning the light off by stopping the flow of current to it. Closing a switch means you have completed a circuit (basically a loop) and current now flows causing the light to go on. Think of electricity like water. To cause your bath tub to fill up (light on) you have to also complete the circuit by turning the tap. Now we have water flow. (current) To stop the flow of water, we want to open the circuit by turning the tap in the opposite direction causing a break in the flow of water.

Desctibe what happens to the negative charges in a simple circut when the switch is close?
When the switch is closed in a simple circuit, the negative charges (electrons) flow from the negative terminal of the battery through the circuit and back to the positive terminal. This flow of electrons creates an electric current that powers the circuit components.
What is the device to break a circuit?
A switch is a device used to break a circuit. By opening the switch, the circuit is interrupted and electricity stops flowing. This allows for controlling the flow of electricity to different components in a circuit.
What happens when a switch circuit is opened?
When a switch is closed the path through the circuit is continuous.
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.
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.
How does a torch work-circuit'?
A torch is simply a circuit containing a battery, a bulb and a switch. The three components are connected in series (one after the other) to form a loop. The switch simply completes the circuit so that power flows from the battery to the bulb.

What is close circuit?
Close circuit is a complete circuit of battery wire bulb and a switch
What are the basic parts of a circuit?
Switch Light Wire battery
What happens to an electric current at a light switch?
When an electrical switch is in the off position, the circuit is interrupted. When the switch is on, the circuit is open and complete.
Why does the flow from the battery increase when the switch is closed?
When the switch is closed, it creates a complete circuit for the flow of electricity from the battery. This allows the electrons to move freely and increases the flow of current in the circuit.
Desctibe what happens to the negative charges in a simple circut when the switch is close?
When the switch is closed in a simple circuit, the negative charges (electrons) flow from the negative terminal of the battery through the circuit and back to the positive terminal. This flow of electrons creates an electric current that powers the circuit components.
What happens when you flip a switch on a flashlight?
When you flip a switch on a flashlight, you complete an electrical circuit that allows a current to flow from the battery to the light bulb. This causes the light bulb to emit light and illuminate the surroundings.
What materials are conductors in a torch?
The conducting path of a torch is a simple circuit: Battery to switch, switch to bulb, bulb back to battery. Provided the switch is on, and there are no breaks in the circuit wiring (and the bulb is good), the torch should work.
What starts a car?
The ignition switch completes the circuit of electricity from the battery to the starter that actually turn the engine over and starts it.The ignition switch completes the circuit of electricity from the battery to the starter that actually turn the engine over and starts it.
What are the some parts of an electric circuit?
Battery, switch, wires, lightbulb, etc. Those are SOME parts of a circuit....
What are componenets of a circuit?
The components of a circuit are:- 1: A battery or cell 2: A switch 3: A bulb 4: A wire
