How does a contact switch work?
A switch has moving contacts, name them ?
Three different bulbs are connected in series when switch is closed the last bulb does not glow why?
because the switch is closed
What is an advantage of using an electromagnet over a permanent magnet?
The advantage of an elecromagnet is that you can turn it on and off with a simple switch. So for example if you want to pick up a scrap car with a crane/electromagnet and move it, you can turn the electromagnet off when you want to release the car. You could not do the with a permanent magnet obviously.
What energy conversions occur when the switch is closed?
light energy-electrical energy-thermal energy
What can be done with an electromagnet that cannot be done with a regular permanent magnet?
Its strength can be easily manipulated (e.g. you can switch it off). Or the strength can be varied with the current. Electromagnets can reverse polarity (by reversing the current).
What Consists of an electromagnet that's used to open and close contacts to switch current?
That'd be a relay.
Can you explain how a switch works?
It is an on-off electrical device. When the contacts are closed it starts conducting and, if its contacts open, no conduction can take place.
What are normally closed Switch?
this means having a low resistance measurement ; average 0.5 ohms, across 2 contacts of a switch which is normally a low value or short circuit when the switch is physically closed.
What is a single pole single throw?
It is a type of switch or relay where there is just one set of contacts. The contacts can be open or closed. There are two terminals. A standard light switch like you would find in your home is a good example of a switch with a SPST contact.
What does the switch do to the electro magnet?
The switch is turned on to activate the electromagnet, and metal is attracted. Turning off the switch stops the electromagnet from working, and metal is no longer attracted.
Why the door warning light is still on even after all doors are properly closed?
Dirty contacts (if fitted) on the hatchback door. A broken door switch or broken door switch wire.
What is a closed switch?
A normally closed switch is a switch that is normally closed. When you operate it, it opens.
What is a reversing switch that rotates with an electromagnet?
Commutator
What is a ignition relay?
The relay is a device that typically uses low amperage 12 vdc electrical (control voltage) to switch a much higher amperage circuit (load voltage). In the case of an ignition relay, the key/ignition switch is not capable of handling the high amperage requirements of the engine components electrical draw, so a relay is run in the circuit and controlled with the keyswitch. The relay has an electromagnet (control) and a switch (load) inside, and the electromagnet moves the switch when the control is energized. You do not ALWAYS have to have a burned fuse to have a bad relay, the contacts on the switch can burn, or the wire in the electromagnet can open, both resulting in a non-functioning relay.
How TO wire a 3 way switch?
Each 3 way switch has 2 sets of contacts connected internally to a common pole (marked COMMON). Inside the switch are a set of normally closed (NC) and normally open (NO) contacts. Electrical normally closed contacts pass power unlike plumbing in which a normally closed valve blocks air or fluid flow.
What is the function of the closed switch in the circuit?
what does closed switch mean
