The correct Answer is:
To answer the question "Name the device which is used to 'make' or 'break' an electric circuit," we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Terms**: - The term "make" refers to closing the circuit, which allows electric current to flow. - The term "break" refers to opening the circuit, which stops the flow of electric current. 2. **Identifying the Device**: - The device that can either close (make) or open (break) an electric circuit is commonly used in electrical systems. 3. **Naming the Device**: - The device that serves this purpose is called a **switch**. 4. **Function of the Switch**: - When the switch is in the "off" position, it breaks the circuit, preventing current from flowing. - When the switch is in the "on" position, it completes the circuit, allowing current to flow. 5. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, the answer to the question is that the device used to 'make' or 'break' an electric circuit is a **switch**.
