A dimmer switch is a device which allows for the adjustment of power supplied to one or more electric lights. In some rare cases, they are also used for other electric devices, but in many cases doing so would harm the device, so this is rare.
Types
Variable resistor
The first kind of dimmer switch made use of a variable resistor.
Switching circut
Triode alternating current switch=
Coil-rotation transformer
Autotransformer dimmer
(Variac)
Solid-state
(aka semiconductor)
