Electromagnetic Relay
An electromagnetic relay is a type of electrical switch controlled by an electromagnet. The electromagnetic relay is used in a variety of applications, including alarms and sensors, signal switching, and the detection and control of faults on electrical distribution lines. The core of the electromagnetic relay, naturally, is an electromagnet, formed by winding a coil around an iron core. When the coil is energized by passing current through it, the core in turn becomes magnetized, attracting a pivoting iron armature. The electromagnetic relay usually makes use of a diode to restrict the flow of the charge, with the cathode connected at the most positive end of the coil. The electromagnetic relay is capable of controlling an output of higher power than the input, and it is often used as a buffer to isolate circuits of varying energy potentials as a result.
