With electric fields, remember from a recent study on EHS and electric fields that the on/off field transitions themselves may have effects. So it might be good if there is a way to turn on and off a switch from a distance. I remember an old video of Per Segerback where he used a stick to turn on and off the switch of a power outlet.
