Solution

As we know, current flows through the live wire, but to stop the current to flow or to allow the current to flow, we need to make sure that we can start or stop the flow according to our circuit need.
As we know, current flows only if the circuit is complete. A switch is place in the path of live wire which can act as circuit maker or breaker.
