The switch in that circuit is the ignition switch. When I activate the ignition switch, voltage is delivered to the solenoid that is connected to the starter motor, which causes it to start turning. The solenoid is a "have power, deliver power" to the starter motor, and there is no "switching" that happens at the solenoid. All of the "on/off" switching happens at the ignition switch in my hand.
But your attempt at not admitting you were wrong by calling me "UD" is amusing.  |
It is a NO (Normally Open for the retarded)
contact. Better? As I said IT FKN COMPLETES THE CIRCUIT TO THE STARTER. Stick it up your ass dickweed.
EDIT: I don't know what your hardon is for me, but put your dick away. I'm not interested.

The most common type of switch is an electromechanical device consisting of one or more sets of movable electrical contacts connected to external circuits. When a pair of contacts is touching current can pass between them, while when the contacts are separated no current can flow.
