Which description matches a Push Switch?

• A. Push Switch
• B. Push-to-Break Switch
• C. On-Off Switch
• D. Inductor

Answer: (A)

Push switches are activated by pressing to close or open a circuit. When you press them, contacts touch to complete the connection; depending on the type, they may return to their original state when released (momentary) or stay engaged until pressed again (latching). This behavior distinguishes a generic push switch from a Push-to-Break switch, which opens a circuit when pressed; an On-Off switch, which toggles between states and remains in that state until toggled again; and an inductor, which is not a switch at all but stores energy in a magnetic field.
