Solution

  1. Switch allows us to turn off and on the electricity supply to our home.
  2. Mainswitch distributes the current all over the house and takes care of all the fuses and wires in it.
  3. It is the main connecting link between external supply and household wiring.
  4. It is always connected with a live wire so that it can distribute the current in the whole circuit and house.
  5. Also, the switch is to be connected to a live wire to maintain the body of the appliance at zero potential in the switch-off position.
