In building wiring, multiway switching is the interconnection of two or more electrical switches to control an electrical load from more than one location.A common application is in lighting, where it allows the control of lamps from multiple locations, for example in a hallway, stairwell, or large room.
A full-load wire does heat up slightly due to the metallic resistance of the wire, but this wire heating is factored into the cable's temperature rating. (NEC 310.10) [12] The NEC specifies acceptable numbers of conductors in crowded areas such as inside conduit, referred to as the fill rating.
The advantage of an IP bases system is the flexibility to add devices at a later stage. That is you can cable to as many locations as you want and have it terminate on a data outlet near where you may be planning to add devices at a later stage. Adding the device is as simple as plugging it into the outlet and configuring the device.
However, Dudeney states that the problem is "as old as the hills...much older than electric lighting, or even gas". [3] Dudeney also published the same puzzle previously, in The Strand Magazine in 1913. [4] A competing claim of priority goes to Sam Loyd, who was quoted by his son in a posthumous biography as having published the problem in 1900 ...
Long wiring runs are limited by the permitted voltage drop limit in the conductors. Because the supply voltage is doubled, a balanced load can tolerate double the voltage drop, allowing quarter-sized conductors to be used; this uses 3/8 the copper of an equivalent single-phase system. In practice, some intermediate value is chosen.

An electronic circuit can usually be categorized as an analog circuit, a digital circuit, or a mixed-signal circuit (a combination of analog circuits and digital circuits). The most widely used semiconductor device in electronic circuits is the MOSFET (metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistor). [3]
Many circuits can be analyzed as a combination of series and parallel circuits, along with other configurations. In a series circuit, the current that flows through each of the components is the same, and the voltage across the circuit is the sum of the individual voltage drops across each component. [1]
