What is a switch?

A.VERIFIED ANSWERfact-checked by tutors

 A switch is a simple electrical device that is used to either complete or break an electric circuit. When the switch is in the “ON” position, it allows electric current to flow through the circuit, and the device connected to it starts working. When it is in the “OFF” position, the circuit is broken, and the current stops flowing. Switches are commonly used in homes to control lights, fans, and other appliances.
