Most CD players use electromagnetic switches called relays. Have you ever turned on the power on your CD player or another appliance, and heard a click immediately before it went on? That's a relay doing its job. In a relay, a small current runs through a coil which is right next to a switch with a magnet in it. The coil pulls on the switch, closing it and turning on the device. Relays are useful because they use a small current to control a much larger one. As a result, they are often used in the power supplies of electronic devices such as CD Players
