Solution

Electric switch:

  1. A switch is used to complete or break an electric circuit in order to use an electric appliance.
  2. When a switch is in the ON position, it completes the circuit and allows current to flow through.
  3. Similarly, a switch is in the OFF position when it breaks the circuit and prevents current from passing through.
  4. Electric lamps, coolers, washing machines, table fans, TVs, radios, and other electrical devices with built-in switches.
