Q: What is the primary function of a relay?

To switch circuits on or off using an electromagnetic coil. — Relays use an electromagnet to control a switch.

Q: Which of the following components is typically NOT found in a relay?

A rectifier diode — Rectifier diodes are not part of the standard relay construction. They are used for other circuits.

Q: What does the term 'Normally Open' (NO) contact in a relay mean?

The contacts are open when the relay is de-energized. — NO contacts are open until the relay coil is energized.

Q: What type of signal is typically used to control the coil of an electromechanical relay?

Either AC or DC signal. — Relays can be energized by both AC and DC voltages; the coil design accounts for this.

Q: What is a major advantage of using a relay in a circuit?

Allows for high-power switching with low-power control. — Relays isolate control and switched circuits and allow low-power circuits to manage high-power devices.
