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.
What else can I help you with?
A simple circuit containing a light switch in the on position is a(n) circuit.?
A simple circuit containing a light switch in the on position is a closed circuit. In a closed circuit, electrical current can flow freely, allowing the light to illuminate. If the switch were in the off position, it would create an open circuit, interrupting the flow of electricity and turning the light off.
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 is lamp circuit?
A lamp circuit is an electrical circuit designed to power a lamp, allowing it to produce light. It typically consists of a power source, such as a battery or mains electricity, connected to a light bulb through a switch and wiring. The circuit can be simple, with just a switch and a bulb, or more complex, incorporating dimmers or smart controls. When the circuit is closed by the switch, electricity flows to the lamp, illuminating it.
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 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.
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 are the basic parts of a circuit?
Switch Light Wire battery
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.
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....
