What position does the switch have to be in for a circuit to work?
The switch needs to be in the "on" position for the circuit to work, allowing the flow of electricity through the circuit. In the "off" position, the switch breaks the circuit, stopping the flow of electricity.
Is a switch needed to make a circuit work?
Yes, a switch is needed to control the flow of electricity in a circuit. It allows you to open or close the circuit, which determines whether the electrical current can flow through it or not. Without a switch, the circuit would be always on and the device connected to it would not be able to be turned off.
Can series circuits work when a switch is open?
No. Since the switch is in series with the circuit, opening it blocks the current flow through the circuit, turning it off.
An appliance does not work at all when plug it in and turn the switch what happen to the appliance circuit is?
There could be several reasons why the appliance does not work when plugged in and the switch is turned on. It is possible that there is a loose connection in the circuit, a blown fuse, a malfunctioning component, or a faulty switch. A qualified electrician should be consulted to properly diagnose and fix the issue.
What are some reasons an electric circuit would not work?
The switch may be off or there is a break in the wire that stopped the electron flow in the circuit
