In general terms, explain one common use for relays.

What will be an ideal response?


The relay concept is used where a small voltage at low current operates a set of electrical contacts to an open or closed position, controlling larger electric load as it relays the electrical operations.

Another common use of a relay is to multiply a single signal to open or close multiple contacts to control multiple electrical loads.
