Rarely are these familiar examples good for learning but a 3 way switch is an excellent example of using normally open and normally closed switches.
Relays and contactors have two types of contacts each suited for different applications.
The contacts open when the relay activates to break the circuit.
Normally open no contacts allow current when the relay or contactor is energized.

Relay symbols and electromagnets.
First we have the normally open timed closed notc contact.
