How must an electrical switch be wired to function with a device?

So that when the switch is in the open position the circuit is open and electricity cannot complete the circuit. When the switch is closed it completes the circuit and electricity flows completing the circuit and powering the device.


When the switch is closed it means that?

There is a complete path for the electricity to flow. The opposite of an open circuit. If a light switch is on and the light comes on, the circuit is closed. If the switch is turned off, the light goes off because the circuit is open.


When the switch is closed the circuit makes a?

Complete circuit.


What is the function of switch in the circuit?

A switch simply opens a circuit, stopping the flow of electricity. For example: a simple circuit would be two wires from a battery, one of which goes to a switch, and the other goes to a light bulb. A third wire goes from the other side of the switch to the other conductor of the light bulb. With the switch closed the circuit is complete and the light goes on. Open the switch and the circuit is broken and the light goes off.


What is the purpose of a switch in an electric circuit and how does it function to control the flow of electricity?

The purpose of a switch in an electric circuit is to control the flow of electricity by opening or closing the circuit. When the switch is closed, it allows electricity to flow through the circuit, completing the path for the current. When the switch is open, it breaks the circuit, stopping the flow of electricity. This on/off functionality of the switch helps to control the flow of electricity in the circuit.


What does a switch look like in circuit symbols?

A switch in circuit symbols is represented by a break in the line with a gap or by a line that can be closed to complete the circuit. It typically looks like a gap that can be closed or opened to control the flow of electrical current in a circuit.


What will happen to the charges in a circuit a when a switch is closed?

the electrons are not allowed to enter into the circuit.


What is the function of the switch in circuit?

A switch simply opens a circuit, stopping the flow of electricity. For example: a simple circuit would be two wires from a battery, one of which goes to a switch, and the other goes to a light bulb. A third wire goes from the other side of the switch to the other conductor of the light bulb. With the switch closed the circuit is complete and the light goes on. Open the switch and the circuit is broken and the light goes off.


What function in a circuit for a switch?

A switch is a make - break device. Its function is a circuit is to make and break the current flow of the circuit that it is in. This action then starts and stops the load that is connected in the circuit.


When a switch is on is a circuit open or closed?

If the switch is what is keeping the load from turning on, then yes, there is a voltage across the open switch.


A circuit with a switch turned to the Off position or a circuit with any break is called?

a closed circuit


Why will a bulb not light if a switch is open in a circuit?

It will not work because it has to be closed so the electricity can go to the bulb.
