Is a relay considered a load?

The relay's coil(s) would be a load, but the main function of a relay is to act as a switch to control power to a larger load.


How an electrical relay works?

A relay will have a control circuit and a function circuitcould be the same feed line. One set of terminals (Hot and Load) can be activated at all times, but will not function until the control circuit is closed. The control circuit has a Hot and a Ground--when activated either by supply hot or ground by switch. The internal coil closes allowing the function circuit to operate. The purpose of this relay is to reduce the spike to the alternator. It takes less current (voltage) to close the coil on the relay than it would to operate the accessory that it controls


What function in a circuit for a switch?

A switch is a make - break device. Its function is a circuit is to make and break the current flow of the circuit that it is in. This action then starts and stops the load that is connected in the circuit.


What role does switch play in an electric circuit?

a switch is used to isolate the a flow of current through a circuit , by breaking its connection, there is often a switch at the beginning of a circuit which would isolate the supply - voltage , from the load or " circuit " , in terms of higher - rated voltage circuits ( mains power) ; the switch performs a safety function where it provides a quick , safe and effective means of swathing off the circuit , providing a safety function - purpose , allowing the user to quickly remove power in the event of an emergency , for the switch to carry out its duty, it needs to have an air gap across its contacts contained within , rated so that at the designed/ rated voltage it maintains safety isolation / not allowing an electric arc / spark to jump across the gap .

How can I control both the fan and light with a single dimmer switch?

You can control both the fan and light with a single dimmer switch by using a dual-function dimmer switch that is specifically designed for this purpose. This type of switch allows you to adjust the brightness of the light and the speed of the fan independently using the same control.
