One way gang switch:
A one way gang switch is a simple on/off switch that controls the flow of electricity to a single light or electrical device. In an electrical diagram, a one way gang switch is represented by a single pole switch symbol. When the switch is in the "on" position, the circuit is closed and electricity flows through the switch to the connected device, turning it on. When the switch is in the "off" position, the circuit is open and electricity is interrupted, turning off the device.
Two way switch:
A two way switch is a type of switch that allows for control of a single light or electrical device from two different locations. In an electrical diagram, a two way switch is represented by a double pole switch symbol with two arrows pointing in opposite directions. The two way switch is typically used in staircases, hallways, or rooms with multiple entry points.
When one switch is in the "on" position, the circuit is closed and electricity flows through the switch to the connected device, turning it on. When the other switch is in the "off" position, the circuit is open and electricity is interrupted, turning off the device. The two way switch allows for convenient control of the device from either location.

One-Way Gang Switch
Electrical Diagram:
```

```
- S1: Gang switch
Mechanism:
- The live wire (L) is connected to one terminal of the switch.
- The other terminal of the switch is connected to the load (e.g., a light).
- When the switch is turned on, the circuit is completed and current flows from the live wire through the switch and to the load. When the switch is turned off, the circuit is broken and current stops flowing.

- S1 and S2: Two-way switches
- L1 and L2: Live wires from different sources
Mechanism:
- Two-way switches are installed in pairs.
- Live wire L1 is connected to one terminal of S1 and L2 is connected to one terminal of S2.
- The other terminals of S1 and S2 are connected together.
- The load is connected between the junction of S1 and S2 and the neutral wire.
- When either S1 or S2 is turned on, the circuit is completed and current flows from L1 or L2 through the switch to the load. When both switches are turned off, the circuit is broken and current stops flowing.
- By having two switches in different locations, it is possible to control the same load from either switch.
