relay
These contacts are named as normally open (NO),normally closed(NC) and common(COM) contacts.
RELAY SWITCH CIRCUIT
Relays are widely used to protect electronic devices from short circuits these are electromechanical
devices which uses electromagnet and it is used to close the movable contacts when it is in open position
Relays are used to control motors, heaters, or AC circuits which will draw a lot more electrical power. in
relay switching circuits it uses transistors as the main switching device because the transistor can provide
fast DC switching (on-off)
The main usage of the relay switch circuit is that if a low power electrical circuit is switched to high current
or voltage both “on and off” relay switch circuit can control it.
while building circuits we need to use a transistor switch so that we can control high power devices such
as motors, heating elements or AC circuits but these devices require large current than a single transistor
can handle in that case we can use a relay switching circuit to do this
