MCQ
When the current through the electromagnet of a relay reaches a particular value
  • A
    It breaks the circuit
  • B
    It open the circuit by pulling in an iron contact
  • C
    It closes the circuit by pulling in an iron contact
  • Both $A$ or $C$

Answer

Correct option: D.
Both $A$ or $C$

They are ways of switching using a low current to use an electromagnet to close or open a spring steel contact.They are often used to isolate a user from a high voltage that needs to be switched, using low current, low voltage to operate the relay, rather than having a user come in direct proximity to the higher voltage that needs to be switched.When the current through the electromagnet of a relay reaches a particular value it either breaks the circuit by repllening or closes the circuit by pulling in an iron contact.
