Assume the device is initially off. Lets consider a circuit diagram with open and closed switch when we close the switch the bulb glows now lets consider a circuit with voltmeter ammeter and a resistor it looks like some points to note the direction of current is from positive to negative end though in reality it is the opposite link the longer end of the battery is the.

Open switch circuit diagram. In a power system circuit breaker and fuse perform the same switching make and break the circuit role by the manually and automatically at fault condition. In order to operate a mosfet as a switch it must be operated in cut off and linear or triode region. We will understand the operation of a mosfet as a switch by considering a simple example circuit. A switch in the open position disconnects the light bulb from the battery creating an open circuit. In the on state a switch acts just like a piece of perfectly conducting wire. Turning the flashlight on by sliding the black button to the left pushes the two pieces of metal together or closes the switch and completes the circuit so that current can flow.
A switch can only exist in one of two states. This device is known as a switch and its purpose in this circuit is to establish or interrupt the electrical continuity of the circuit in order to control the light bulb. This is a simple circuit where a n channel enhancement mode mosfet will turn on or off a light. This in effect looks like an open circuit preventing current from flowing. For the electrical and electronic circuit working open circuit and closed circuit we need a switch to make on and break off the circuit. Beginning students often find the terminology for switches confusing because the words open and closed sound similar to the terminology used for doors but do not.
In the off state a switch looks like an open gap in the circuit.
