Explain the distinction between "change in quantity supplied" and "change in supply". Use diagram.

Change in Quantity supplied' refers to change in supply due to own price of the good only. It means movement along the same supply curve. It is called extension when supply rises (from D to E) and contraction when supply fall (from F to E).
Change in supply' refers to change in supply due to factor other than the own price of the good like change in prices of inputs etc. This leads to shift of supply curve, It is called 'increase' when supply rises (from A to B) and 'decrease' when supply falls (from C to B).
