In a torch (flashlight), the current passes from the positive terminal, through the bulb, and returns back in the negative terminals, making a complete circuit. When the switch is moved to the on position, a metal piece inside the case touches the positive terminals of the battery, the circuit is completed, and the torch turns on. Move the switch to the off position, the metal piece no longer touches the positive terminals of the battery, and the torch turns off.
