| Ohm's Law determines the result of changing voltage, current, or resistance |
An electric current creates a surrounding magnetic field
Induction: An electric current in one wire creates an electric current in any neighboring wire.
An electric current in one coil of wire creates an electric current in an adjacent coil. The relative number of loops in each coil determines the current and voltage in the 2nd coil.
Power in = Power out A*V = A*V Ratio of the loops
A relay is an electrical switch that opens and closes under the control of another electrical circuit. In the original form, the switch is operated by an electromagnet to open or close one or many sets of contacts. It was invented by Joseph Henry in 1835. Because a relay is able to control an output circuit of higher power than the input circuit, it can be considered to be, in a broad sense, a form of an electrical amplifier.
