What type of switch is described as a single pole, single throw (SPST) switch with ON and OFF positions?

A single pole, single throw (SPST) switch is specifically designed to control a circuit with two positions: ON and OFF. This type of switch allows for a simple control mechanism where the user can turn the circuit on or off, making it straightforward in its functionality.

The term "two way" often refers to the ability to control a single load from two different locations, which can be a bit misleading in relation to your question. However, if we interpret "two way" in a more general sense, it can be seen as relating to the two states (ON and OFF) that an SPST switch provides.

This distinguishes it from the other options that involve more complex operations or different configurations. A three way switch, for example, allows for control from two locations but is not a simple ON/OFF switch; instead, it operates in a way that allows for three configurations. A dimmer switch varies the brightness of a light and includes additional functionality beyond just on and off. A momentary switch only remains in an ON state while it's actively pressed, which is contrary to the ON/OFF function described.

Thus, the description of a switch as SPST aligns with the concept of providing two specific states, making "two way
