A switch controls the current in a circuit that has a large inductance. The electric are at the switch (Fig. CQ32.3) can melt and oxidize the contact surfaces, resulting in high resistivity of the contacts and eventual destruction of the switch. Is a spark more likely to be produced at the switch when the switch is being closed, when it is being opened, or does it not matter?
