Switches and Circuits

We are now going to learn about open circuits. This will hopefully show you how light switches and other things to the same effect work. First, let me give you the definition of an open circuit. Open circuit- a circuit that does not have a complete connection with between the two ides of the power source. As a result, current does not flow.

You can now see how when you flip a light switch, you are allowing a path for the electricity to flow in. The same thing works when you turn the light off but vise versa.
