True or False: Most pushbutton switches have Normally Closed (N.C.) contacts.

The correct assertion is that most pushbutton switches have Normally Open (N.O.) contacts rather than Normally Closed (N.C.) contacts. Pushbutton switches are typically utilized for momentary actions, such as starting or stopping a process, which requires the circuit to be completed only when the button is pressed. In this configuration, the contacts are normally open, allowing current to flow only while the button is being actuated.

While there are pushbutton switches with normally closed contacts, they are less common and used in specific applications where a device needs to be active continuously until the button is pressed to stop it. Thus, it is appropriate to state that the majority of pushbutton switches indeed feature normally open contacts, confirming that the assertion is false.
