A switch is a device that can be used to turn a circuit off and on. When the switch is in the "on" position, current can flow through the circuit, and when it is in the "off" position, the circuit is broken and current cannot pass through.

Introduction of clap switch?

This circuit can switch on and off light a fan or a radio etc;by the sound of a clap This circuit is constructed using basic electronic component like resistor transistor relay transformer capacitor .This circuit turns on light for the first clap . the light turns on till the next clap .for the next clap turns off this circuit works with 12v voltage . therefore a step-cown transformer 12v/300ma is employed. The working of the circuit is based on amplifying nature of the transistor . switching the nature of transistor and relay as an electronic switch.
