How to use "Switches" in context?
Switches are used to change the direction of current in a circuit. There are two main types of switches: contact switches and magnetic switches. Contact switches use a metal surface to make and break the electrical connection. Magnetic switches rely on a magnet to make and break the electrical connection.
Contact switches are the most common type of switch. They are usually used to change the direction of current in a single circuit. To use a contact switch, you first have to find the correct switch. There are many different types of switches, so it can be hard to find the right one.
