Question

Symbol of switch is “ON” position is

Answer 1

Hint:Phrase “Switch is on” means, circuit is connected and current is flowing through it. For the current to be flowing, the path should be complete. To understand and analyze electric circuits, one should have understanding of basic symbols, like resistor, battery, switch ON and OFF, etc.

Complete step-by-step answer:
Circuit is a path that is required to flow electricity.
Switch is a device which is attached to a circuit, and it is required to disconnect the circuit when we don’t want to use appliances.
Thus, switch has two mode-
ON – when circuit is connected and electricity is flowing through it.


OFF – when circuit is disconnected and electricity is not flowing through it

Thus, the correct answer is C.

Additional information:
A circuit is made of made devices attached to it, which are essential to it and useful to flow current through it.
These devices are-
Battery – It transforms chemical energy stored in it into electrical energy. It is represented as:

Which is the option D.
 Switch – Which is used to disconnect circuits, when we don’t want to use appliances.
Resistor – It is the hindrance faced by the electron in a metallic wire, which causes wire to heat up and loss of energy.

Appliance – In the above shown diagram appliance is a light bulb, which needs electricity supply to work.


Note: Switches are used to disconnect circuits when we don’t want to use appliances, it is shown as a connecting wire.
When wire is shown not connected, it reflects that switch is OFF.
When wire is shown connected, it reflects that switch is ON.
