Why ULN2803 is not directly connected to a relay why it is connected to a relay via microcontroller?

You actually have that reversed.
A microcontroller is connected to a relay via a ULN2803 (or other power device driver IC) because the output pins of the microcontroller can't drive relays. The ULN2803 darlington transistors provide the power amplification and the inductive kickback protection needed to drive the relay while only lightly loading the microprocessor output pins.

What is the function of base collector and neutral in transistor?
The collector is connected to a input voltage that is always on, like the psu powering the entire circuit, the base connected to an output on an IC (which is feeble compared to the supply voltage) and the "neutral" which is called the emitter is connected to the power input on something that requires lots of power e.g. a solenoid or relay.

What is the definition of blind pass as it relates to track and field?
A baton pass in a sprint relay where the person receiving the baton does not look back and the person giving it to them has to place it directly in their hand.
What is a interposing relay?
In general, a DCS or PLC, handles numerous discrete I/Os. One common I/O module (board) is used to supply 8, 16 or more points. Discrete output circuits from a DCS typically use low power level signals (transistors, micro relays) which cannot be sent directly to the field devices such as electromagnetic valves or motor control circuits. That is why interposing relays are often necessary. These relays play an important role by amplifying the current capacity of the contact signal of the I/O module allowing larger current flow. In addition, discrete input circuits normally can handle only dry contacts or wet contacts of low voltage, which also require interposing relays. For example, let's say the relay of a PLC can only accommodate 0.5A at 220 VAC, but the solenoid which is to be connected to the relay requires 1.2A at 220 VAC. In this case, an interposing relay with contacts rated for operation at 1.2A at 220 VAC would be used as an interposing relay "between" the PLC relay and the solenoid. The coil of the interposing relay should require less voltage and current than the driving relay is rated for, and the contacts of the interposing relay must be rated to handle the requirements of the load (solenoid, light, contactor, motor, etc.).

What is relay driver. What is full form of uln2803 .What is Relay driver ULN2804. Why uln2803 is used with relay. What is a uln2803 relay driver?
A ULN2803 is an Integrated Circuit (IC) chip with a High Voltage/High Current Darlington Transistor Array. It allows you to interface TTL signals with higher voltage/current loads. In English, the chip takes low level signals (TLL, CMOS, PMOS, NMOS - which operate at low voltages and low currents) and acts as a relay of sorts itself, switching on or off a higher level signal on the opposite side. A TTL signal operates from 0-5V, with everything between 0.0 and 0.8V considered "low" or off, and 2.2 to 5.0V being considered "high" or on. The maximum power available on a TTL signal depends on the type, but generally does not exceed 25mW (~5mA @ 5V), so it is not useful for providing power to something like a relay coil. Computers and other electronic devices frequently generate TTL signals. On the output side the ULN2803 is generally rated at 50V/500mA, so it can operate small loads directly. Alternatively, it is frequently used to power the coil of one or more relays, which in turn allow even higher voltages/currents to be controlled by the low level signal. In electrical terms, the ULN2803 uses the low level (TTL) signal to switch on/turn off the higher voltage/current signal on the output side. The ULN2803 comes in an 18-pin IC configuration and includes eight (8) transistors. Pins 1-8 receive the low level signals, pin 9 is grounded (for the low level signal reference). Pin 10 is the common on the high side and would generally be connected to the positive of the voltage you are applying to the relay coil. Pins 11-18 are the outputs (Pin 1 drives Pin 18, Pin 2 drives 17, etc.).
Why will starter run with relay out and key off?
you must have a short in which the starter is connected directly to the battery in 1 way or another
Where is the indicator relay on a ford transit?
the indicator relay is located directly under the steering coluom which has a red plug connected to it and slide the complete relay toward the seat and it will slide out, then you have to pry the raised section so you can unplug the relay. hope this help you
How do you trigger a digital camera using a microcontroller?
That depends on how much you are willing to take the camera apart. If you didn't want to touch it, then you would have to use a solenoid to push the button. That would probably need some drive electronics similar to driving a motor. If you can take the camera apart then you could replace the switch with a relay. Small relays can be driven directly from a microcontroller. The switch may be more complex than just one switch. Maybe a half-press focuses and a full-press takes the picture. So you might need more than one relay, or maybe one relay with more than one pole. You wont know until you look. Almost certainly, the switch drives a voltage input (or more than one) on a microcontroller in the camera. So if you traced the signal back you should be able to drive that voltage input directly from your microcontroller. You may have to get into some very small surface mount components.
How do you interface a relay to a microprocessor type 89C51?
you cannot directly interface a relay to a microcontroller, you need a buffer circuit in between the two, you can use a NPN transistor BC 547, connect the controller pin directly to the base of the transistor (since there is an internal 10k pull up resistor inside the controller no need of any base resistor). Connect the transistors emitter to the gnd & the collector to the relay coil, the another end of the relay coil goes to the supply, check this link for complete information http://www.dnatechindia.com/index.php/Tutorials/8051-Tutorial/Relay-Interfacing.html

use secondary injection test with pilots connected.
How is photocell connected to lamps as a switch?
The photocell would typically control a relay. The power to the lamp would go to one pole of the relay and the lamp to the other. The common wire and ground would go directly to the lamp. The relay would be normally open and would close when the light energy on the photocell decreased to an amount that would trigger a circuit to close the relay.
How do you check the under voltage relay?
The way you check to see if an under voltage relay is wired properly is to disconnect the electrical supply. If the device that is connected to the load side of the relay does not start up or energize when the electrical supply is reconnected, then the relay is connected correctly.
