Instead of removing the source and connecting again, we can put an small switch in our circuit which does the turning the power ON and OFF just with a single push.<\/p>\n<p>There are two type of switches you will find in the DCACLAB.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>One way switch<\/li>\n<li>DPDT switch<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We will keep introducing the type of switches to our virtual.
