Expert Solution
Step 1

There are three types of switches:

  • Uncontrolled switches : In these turn on and turn off can not be controlled.
  • Semicontrol switches : In these only turn on can be controlled by gating signal
  • Fully controlled switches : Both turn on and turn off can be controlled.
