Definition. An inductive electrical device for changing the voltage of alternating current.
A transformer consists of two magnetically coupled coils. Alternating current in one (called the
"primary") creates a changing magnetic field which induces a current in the second coil (the
"secondary").
An Auto-transformer is an electrical transformer with only one winding. The "auto" prefix refers to the single
coil acting alone and not to any kind of automatic mechanism. In an autotransformer, portions of the same
winding act as both the primary and secondary sides of the transformer.
Poles: A switch pole refers to the number of separate circuits that the switch controls. A single-pole switch controls
just one circuit. A double-pole switch controls two separate circuits. A double-pole switch is like two separate single-
pole switches that are mechanically operated by the same lever, knob, or button.
Most electronic circuits contain an on/off switch. ... A single-pole switchcontrols just one circuit. A double-pole
switch controls two separate circuits. A double-pole switch is like two separate single-pole switchesthat are
mechanically operated by the same lever, knob, or button.
A three-way switch has three terminals; a four-way has four. These control a light from two or three locations, such
as in a stairwell, at either end of a hallway, or in a large room with more than one entrance. A dimmer switch controls
a light's intensity. Usually you can replace any single-pole switch with a dimmer.
An electric battery is a device consisting of one or more electrochemical cells with external connections
provided to power electrical devices such as flashlights, smartphones, and electric cars. ...
Common examples are the alkaline battery used for flashlights and a multitude of portable electronic
devices.
