How to Wire a 2 Way Switch

In our daily life, we use two-way switches, but most people don’t know about the 2-way switch wiring, for that, I am gonna write about this switch wiring with a complete diagram. Most people think that in electric wiring we use 2-way switches only for stair circuits, but they are wrong because the uses of 2-way switches in electrical technology are so many. We use it in the Washing machine, We use it for two electric supplies etc.

How to Wire a Two-Way Switch

In 2 way switch, we have three terminals, one is common and 2 are for different connections and different supplies, it depends on your use and work, however, I am trying to explain its uses using the below diagram.
In the below diagram, I show switch symbols for explanation and function.

In the above example, I have shown in one symbol that you can give a supply to the common wire and can get a supply from 2 terminals and in the second switch symbol, I showed that you can enter two supplies and can get a supply from the common terminal which you want. You can use it in your work in many places.
