A Two-Way Key is an essential electrical switch used in physics laboratories to select between two different circuits or components—such as connecting or disconnecting a galvanometer or resistance. It allows smooth switching between two paths in a circuit without re-wiring.
Type: Manual double-throw switch
Material: Brass contacts on a wooden or bakelite base
Design: Three brass terminals—one common (input) and two outputs (A and B)
Operation: Insert metal plug into either slot to complete the desired circuit path
Durability: High-conductivity brass and rigid insulating base for lab safety
Used in Wheatstone bridge, Potentiometer, and resistance comparison experiments
Helps switch current between two alternative branches without disconnection
Standard tool in CBSE/ICSE/State board, B.Sc., and engineering practicals
Commonly used with galvanometers, resistance boxes, and battery eliminators
