Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A three-way switch has three terminals and is used to control a single light fixture from two different locations, such as at the top and bottom of a staircase. It is actually a single-pole double-throw (SPDT) switch, which means it has one common terminal, and two other terminals that can be connected to either of the two other terminals depending on the position of the switch.
