You might have noticed street lights that automatically turn on at night and off during the day. Knowing how relays work, you can create a circuit capable of controlling these types of lights using just a photoresistor, two NPN transistors, and a relay: The circuit uses an LDR (Light Depen...

How does a magnetic relay work? In this relay, when a current flows through the coil,it turns it into an electromagnet. The magnet pushes a switch to the left, forcing the spring contacts together, and completing the circuit they're attached to. This is a relay from an electronic, hot-...
a CdS cell directly to a relay (seeHow Relays Work), so that a lot of light would energize the electromagnet and a small amount of light would not. Usually, however, a CdS cell cannot draw enough current to activate the relay when light hits it. Therefore you need to add a transistor...
How Does PCB Relay Work? A relay is nothing but an electromagnetic switch. The crucial part is the electromagnetic coil. When current passes through it, it turns into a temperature magnet. This magnetic field operates through the metal plate that connects to the armature, changing the contact ...
Because there are no mechanical parts, their life expectancy is higher than an electromechanical or reed relay. SSRs are useful for high-voltage applications because the LED actuation does provide a galvanic isolation barrier between the control circuitry and the MOSFET. Because the MOSFET is doing ...

Instant-on relay: This type of relay is activated immediately after the control signal is applied. In this case, we have a faster switch-on time than zero crossing relays. Peak switching relay: This type of relay turns on the load circuit when the load voltage reaches the next peak after...
