🔍 Key Concepts

• Compare how switch C is operated (rotary selector vs push or toggle) with the action shown in each schematic symbol 1–8. • Look for how many separate contacts (poles) change state together when switch C is turned, and match that to the symbol that shows the same number of moving contacts. • Notice whether the switch is a maintained selector (stays in position when you let go) or a momentary pushbutton, and find the symbol that represents a maintained multi‑position selector.

💭 Think About

• Which of the bottom symbols shows contacts that are operated by a rotating mechanism rather than a straight push or simple on/off lever? • How many circuits can switch C control at once? Which symbol shows that same number of poles changing state together? • Which symbols clearly represent pushbuttons (momentary) or simple single-pole switches that do not match a multi-position selector, and can therefore be eliminated first?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which figure(s) at the bottom show multiple poles linked to a common actuator, like a cam or rotary operator. • Confirm that the symbol you pick does not show a spring‑return or momentary contact, since the handle in C appears to be a maintained selector. • Before choosing, double-check that the symbol’s layout (number of movable contacts and positions) could realistically match the terminals visible on the body of switch C.
