Question

15) When a switch is in OFF position.

(i) circuit starting from the positive terminal of the cell stops at the switch.
(ii) circuit is open.
(iii) no current flows through it.
(iv) current flows after some time.
Choose the combination of correct answer from the following:
(a) all are correct
(b) (ii) and (iii) are correct
(c) only (iv) is correct
(d) only (i) and (ii) are correct.

Answer 1

When a switch is in the OFF position, the circuit is open and no current flows through it.

Step-by-step explanation:

When a switch is in the OFF position, the correct statements are:

1. (ii) circuit is open.
2. (iii) no current flows through it.

When the switch is off, it breaks the circuit, creating an open pathway and preventing the flow of electric current. The current will only flow when the switch is turned on.
