Step 1

There are three types of switches

  • Uncontrolled switch : In these switched neither turn on nor turn off can be controlled.
  • Semicontrolled switch : In these switches only turn on can be controlled.
  • Fully controlled switch : In these switches both turn on and turn off can be controlled.
