How to control each lamp by separately switch in parallel lighting circuit?


Wiring a light switch: How to control each lamp by separately switch in parallel lighting circuit?

In the real wiring system the switches are used to control the lamp separately. Here the diagram shows how we can control three Lamps separately. All these three Lamps are connected in parallel to each other. The switches are connected between lamps and phase wire.

Point to be Noted: Switch is always connected to the phase wire not on neutral wire.


The third Lamp is OFF just because the switch is OFF, so the circuit is not complete, and there is no way to flowing current, in other word this is an open circuit. The first and second lamps are ON, because the switches which are connected to the line are ON, so the circuit is  complete.
