The term normaly closed means that in its normal state the relay or contact is closed. So when energized it will open and break the circuit.
Most relays have an internal electromagnetic coil that is energized when the relay is activated.

If, when a relay is energized, you measure 0.05 VAC across a set of normally open contacts, the
Most relays have an internal electromagnetic coil that is energized when the relay is activated.
A relay energized by alternating current should have a core made of laminated iron to reduce eddy currents and improve efficiency. Additionally, it should be designed with contacts that can handle the changing polarity of AC without sticking or welding together. A shading coil may also be necessary to prevent chatter due to the rapidly changing magnetic field in the coil.
A core in the electrical trade usually refers to the iron laminations that coils of wire are wrapped around. The core directs the magnetic field, that the coils of wire produce when energized, into a working force. This could be the iron core of a relay or a transformer core that is the centre and principle reason that a transformer can operate.
That's what relays do when they are energized.
An electromagnet typically has a magnetic core, such as iron, and is energized by running an electric current through a coil wrapped around the core. When the current flows, it generates a magnetic field around the core, giving the electromagnet its magnetic properties.
To test a relay, first disconnect it from the circuit and use a multimeter to check for continuity across the relay's contacts when the coil is energized. If the multimeter shows continuity when power is applied to the coil, the relay is functioning properly. You can also listen for a clicking sound when the relay is energized, indicating that the contacts are closing. If there's no continuity or the clicking sound is absent, the relay is likely defective.
This is a small electromagnet whose coil is in series with the relay contacts and whose contact is in parallel with them. The electromagnet is energized, closing its contacts in parallel with the relay contact as soon as the trip coil is energized, and drops out when the circuit breaker opens.
The normally closed contact on a relay is the one that you can see physically touching each other. Remember that all readings are taken in the de energized state, e.g. no voltage applied to the relay's coil. When a relay is energized a Normally Closed (N.C.) contact will become open and vice versa a N.O. contact will become closed.
