A socket is a device that provides an electrical connection to power-operated devices or appliances. It usually consists of a receptacle with one or more holes or slots to accept plugs, allowing electrical devices to connect to the power supply. Sockets are commonly found in homes, offices, and industrial settings. Examples include electrical outlets on walls or power strips.
A switch is a device used to interrupt or divert the flow of electric current in a circuit. It allows you to control the electrical power to a device or a group of devices. Switches come in various types, such as toggle switches, rocker switches, push-button switches, and more. They can be used to turn lights on and off, control appliances, and manage the flow of electricity within a circuit.
