because the switch is closed
The bulb that will glow first when 3 bulbs are connected in series and the switch is connected after 1 bulb is the second bulb in the series. The current flows through all the bulbs in a series circuit, but the second bulb experiences the full potential difference first as it is connected directly to the source.
An AC wall switch is in series within the parallel circuit of the overall house wiring.
The amount of charge that flowed through the switch when it was closed depends on the current passing through it and the time it was closed for.
For an electrical circuit to keep going, it cannot be interrupted. When the switch is adjusted, the electrical flow is interrupted. Move the switch again and the flow is restored. Without a switch a circuit is no longer considered a complete circuit. Simple fifth grade science.
A closed switch completes the electrical circuit, allowing current to flow through the light bulb and generate light. If the switch is not closed, there is an open circuit, meaning the current cannot flow and the light bulb does not turn on.
If the switch, light bulb, and source are all connected in series and the switch is ideal (has no resistance), then the switch acts as a short. There is no potential difference across the short.
a switch and a capacitor which is connected in series with the switch
To control a light with a switch, the switch has to be connected in series with the light fixture.
The on-off switch on your nightstand, which is connected in series with the lightbulb.
It's open and closed circuit.An open circuiit is a break, or disconnection, in a circuit. It could be, for instance, a switch in the "off" position.A closed dircuit is one which is connected (to something). It may be through a switch in the "on" position.
A closed current
The bulb that will glow first when 3 bulbs are connected in series and the switch is connected after 1 bulb is the second bulb in the series. The current flows through all the bulbs in a series circuit, but the second bulb experiences the full potential difference first as it is connected directly to the source.
If the coil is connected to a circuit and the switch is closed then, provided there is a power source, the coil will become energized.
An open switch interrupts the flow of electrical current in a circuit, preventing it from completing and thus stopping the operation of connected devices. In contrast, a closed switch allows current to flow freely, completing the circuit and enabling the devices to operate. Essentially, an open switch is like a gap in the circuit, while a closed switch acts as a bridge.
Isolation switches can be closed with loads connected. The isolation switch should not be opened under load unless the switch is load rated. This information can be found on the isolation switch's cover as to the amount of current that can be safely interrupted.
An AC wall switch is in series within the parallel circuit of the overall house wiring.
A normally closed switch is a switch that is normally closed. When you operate it, it opens.
