Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In the context of switches, "pole" refers to the number of separate circuits that the switch can control, not the number of output circuits specifically. "Throw" indicates the number of positions that each switch pole can connect to, not the number of input circuits. Therefore, both Technician A and Technician B are incorrect in their definitions.
