The same as any other light. The plug is inserted into the wall outlet which inturn supplies power to the switch. If the switch is in On, current will flow to the bulb. this causes the light to come on. When the switch is turned off, the current stops there.

Height of light switch?

It depends upon what the switch is controlling and what local code might require. For instance, a light switch can be located on the canopy of a ceiling light, to which you would attach a chain or string of suitable length to make it useful. The light switch on a street light is often mounted to the top of the enclosure where it detects the sunset and sunrise. As for a wall switch for lights in an ordinary dwelling, National Electrical Code (in use in many countries) would require it to be no more than 2.0m (6 ft 7 in) above the floor. Code requirements for access by the disabled may limit it to 48 inches above the finished floor or something else adopted in that jurisdiction.
