You have two switches on either end of your kitchen and they are on what is called a 3 way circuit Are there dimmers for this circuit Do you need a dimmer?

== == Yes, there are 3-way dimmer switches.
Normally staircase lights plus bed room lights need these kind of 3-way
switches to turn lights on or off from more than one place. Such lighting arrangements can use dimmers if u need as usual nothing to worry. A dimmer will help save energy, may prolong the life of the bulbs, and will permit greater variability of the amount of light to be used.

What are switches in a circuit box called?
Generally relays or contactors If you are talking about an electric panel in your house, they are called breakers.
A device or circuit that provides power to the rest of the circuit or system is called what?
A device or circuit that provides power to the rest of the circuit or system is called a power supply,
What opens or closes an electrical circuit?
That function was traditionally implemented in the form of a mechanical deviceknown as a "switch".The practice became so firmly embedded in the art and science of electricitythat the word became the generic term for any device that could performany similar function, so that now we have "switching transistors", integrated"CMOS switches", and even central office telephone-circuit "switches".
When there is almost no resistance in a circuit what is it called?
This is what is known as a "short circuit".
Why a wheatstone circuit is called a bridge?
An electrical circuit used to measure an unknown electrical resistance is called a Wheatstone bridge. It is called a bridge because it balances two legs of a bridge circuit.
The combination of telephone lines and the closed switches that connect them to each other is called?
Circuit

How is one light controlled by three switches?
That is called a 4 way light switch circuit. On each end of the circuit you install a 3way switch and in the middle you install a 4 way switch.Answer using British TerminologyIn the UK, 'three-way' switches are called 'two-way' switches (more logical, if you think about it!), and the 'four-way' switch is called an 'intermediate' switch.
What are the parts of parallel circuit?
Simple parts of a circuit are switches, light bulb, battery and connecting wires.
Where can one find more information about Dimmers?
There are a few ways to find out more information about dimmers. You can talk to someone that works in electrical departments at Home Depot, Lowes, or local lighting stores. There is also an online site called How Stuff Works that explains about dimmers.
Which circuit will allow you to switch a light on and off at both the front and backdoor of a house?
This is called a 3-way circuit. It uses special switches and wiring to control a load from more than one location.
What is a circuit breaker with 2 switches?
If unaltered, it would by called a "tandem" breaker. Typically used to add new circuits to a full load center.
Describe the path of a current in a complete circuit?
An operating circuit, is by definition, complete. The electrons in a DC circuit flow from the -ve terminal of the power source, through the various components and switches etc, then to the +ve terminal of the power source.
What is the type of circuit called when it has an conductor a switch a electric cell a resistor?
it is called a circuit and when it is closed is called a closed circuit and when open circuit it is called an open circuit
What is circuit switch and packet switch?
These are types of switches used in networks. A packet-switched network moves data in separate units called packets which are then assembled to create the message. Circuit switched networks send continuously but require dedicated point-to-point connections.
How do you wire a light fixture to be controlled by 5 separate switches?
That is called 4 way intermediate switch wiring. Click the link to watch a video I have posted showing how to wire just such a circuit.
What is a kitchen called on a boat?
