First, to explain the on/off switch:
There is an electrical wire connected to the switch. When the switch is in the [ON] position, it is called a closed circuit, when electricity can run through to power the light bulb. When the switch is in the [OFF] position, the switch stops touching the wires, and it is called an open circuit, where the circuit is broken and the electricity cannot flow.
Second, light bulbs:
Normal incandescent light bulbs are powered when an electric current runs through their filament. Incandescent bulbs' filaments are very thin, and when electricity runs through them they become so hot they glow bright yellow to white.
How come the filaments don't burn up? That was a problem Thomas Edison came across when he tried to make incandescent light bulbs; the filaments burned up. He solved that problem by making a vacuum inside the bulb - No air means no Oxygen, and no Oxygen means no burning. (vacuum means absolutely no gas or air inside an area.) However, he had to make very thick walls for that style of bulb. Today, we fill incandescent bulbs with non-reactive gas at the same pressure as outside air, so bulb walls can be nearly paper-thin.

What else can I help you with?
What happens to light when you turn off the light bulb?
The energy to produce the light stops and the light stops.
What happens when you turn off the light what happened to the electricity?
When you turn off a light, you are breaking the circuit that allows electricity to flow through the light bulb, causing the light bulb to turn off. The electricity in the circuit is still present and will continue to flow until the power source is disconnected or turned off.
When you turn off a flashlight the light goes off how does that happpen?
When you turn off a flashlight, you break the electrical circuit that powers the light bulb. This stops the flow of electricity and causes the filament in the light bulb to stop glowing, thereby turning off the light.
Why does a light go out when you turn off the wall switch?
When you turn off the wall switch, it breaks the circuit that allows electricity to flow to the light bulb, causing the light to go out.
What energy is when you turn off a light switch?
Turning off a light switch stops the flow of electricity to the light bulb, which cuts off the energy supply needed for the light bulb to emit light. The energy that was being used to power the light bulb is no longer being converted into light energy.
What will happen if the two switches connected to light up a single bulb are on?
It is dependant on whether the switches are in wired in a parallel or series configuration. If the switches are wires in parallel then both switches would have to be off to turn the light bulb off. Either switch could turn the light bulb on. If the switches are wired in series then both switches would have to be on to turn the light bulb on. Either switch could turn the light bulb off.

How does light turn on and off with no switch and light and no wires?
Perhaps by unscrewing the bulb light.
How to replace turn signal light bulb?
By popping the light cover off and then figure out in your owners manuel how to remove the the bulb.
Three light switches one room and one light bulb you can only go in it once what light switch turn the light bulb on it has something to do with the temperatur.?
turn 2 switches on wait one minute, turn one off go in the room if the bulb is off and warm it was the last one you turned off if its cold its the one you didnt touch and if its on its the only switch left on.
Elements most associated with electric light bulb?
How to turn off the backyard sensor light
Why does a light go out when you turn off the wall switch?
When you turn off the wall switch, it breaks the circuit that allows electricity to flow to the light bulb, causing the light to go out.
How can I safely change a light bulb using a light bulb stick?
To safely change a light bulb using a light bulb stick, follow these steps: Turn off the power to the light fixture. Use a stable ladder to reach the light bulb. Attach the light bulb stick to the bulb securely. Unscrew the old bulb and carefully remove it. Insert the new bulb and screw it in place. Remove the light bulb stick and turn the power back on.
What kind of energy is used when turn on a light bulb is called?
Electricity is the type of energy that is used when you turn on a light bulb. When you leave a room, you use more energy by leaving the light on than if you turn it off and back on when you return.
What energy is when you turn off a light switch?
Turning off a light switch stops the flow of electricity to the light bulb, which cuts off the energy supply needed for the light bulb to emit light. The energy that was being used to power the light bulb is no longer being converted into light energy.
