Diagram for USCG Electrical Assistant: Which of the following statements concerning figure "6" of the illustration is...
AThe symbol represents an overload relay.
BThe symbol represents a computer cable pin plug.
CThe symbol represents a switch using maintained contact with "either/or" logic.
DThe symbol represents a switch which functions with analog parameters.
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C. The symbol in figure "6" of the illustration EL-0026 represents a switch using maintained contact with "either/or" logic. The reasoning is that the symbol shown is a standard schematic symbol for a switch, specifically a single-pole, double-throw (SPDT) switch. This type of switch allows the circuit to be connected to either of two terminals, representing the "either/or" logic functionality. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the characteristics of the symbol shown. An overload relay, a computer cable pin plug, and a switch with analog parameters are represented by different schematic symbols that do not match the one depicted in the illustration.
