We can tell this switch is a normally open no switch because it is drawn in an open position.
Normally open relay symbol.

This is the changeover contact of a relay that is closed or connected with one terminal known as normally closed terminal when the relay is deactivated the other terminal is open known as normally open terminal.
Contacts time delay after coil normally open normally closed normally open normally closed relay etc.
Normally open no contacts allow current when the relay or contactor is energized.
The normally open contact is termed normally open time close notc while the normally closed contact is termed normally close timed open contact ncto.
Most of the time a small voltage or current is used to switch other voltages or higher currents that may be electromechanical or fully electronic type.
Normally open relays default in the open position meaning that when they re not in use there is no contact between the circuits.
Relay symbols and electromagnets.
When power is introduced an electromagnet pulls the first circuit into contact with the second thereby closing the circuit and allowing power to flow through.
Relay logic circuits schematic symbols.
Relays and contactors have two types of contacts each suited for different applications.
The relay are switching devices activated by signals.
First we have the normally open timed closed notc contact.
It changes the contact s position when the relay activates.
Time delay relay contacts must be specified not only as either normally open or normally closed but whether the delay operates in the direction of closing or in the direction of opening.
In other words when voltage is applied to the relay contactor terminals this contact closes.
The following is a description of the four basic types of time delay relay contacts.
Cont ground chassis or frame not necessarily grounded plug and recp.
If it is a switch then it is off.
If it is a relay then it is not energized.
On delay contacts do not have a set of instantaneous contacts which means the contacts will change state immediately when the coil of the timer is energized.
In relay logic circuits the contacts no and nc are used to indicate normally open or normally close relay circuit.
Also now is a good time to remind you that this is article is talking about the electrical normally open and normally closed symbols which while may look the same as the ladder logic xic and xio instructions are not the same.
