Knowledge and Information on Toggle Switches

One of the most important components of an electrical circuit is the toggle switches; purely because these are what that control the flow of current trough the circuit. More often than not, be it physics books or encyclopedias, these switches are referred to as the most important controlling factor when the flow of current is concerned. These mechanical devices either allow the current to flow through the circuit freely when they are switched 'on', or break them up when they are turned 'off'. Hence, these switches have the only two positions of 'on' and 'off'.

Most toggle switches, when turned 'on', keep the electrical circuit intact and hence, they make it possible for the current to flow through the circuit. On being tuned 'off', the switches break off the connection between circuits and hence, the flow of current is stopped. This mechanism is the one that comes into play when we turn the switches in our homes or offices or wherever 'on' and 'off'. The electricity being stopped when you switch 'off' the light switch, for example, will turn off the light since the current is not being able to make its way through the electrical circuit.

The theory behind the usage of toggle switches is very simple. Suppose there is a gate. When it is closed, the two sides are making contact and hence, the gap being bridged, current is able to flow. However, when the gate is left opened, there is a gap between the two arms which prevents the free transfer or movement of current throughout the electrical circuit. Toggle switches are something that we use every day, be it in our homes or in our offices or anywhere else and knowing a bit about their mechanism can be a lot useful and might come in handy.
