    The document discusses automotive relays. It defines an automotive relay as a device that helps control the flow of electricity in a car. The main purpose of a relay is to control the flow of current in a circuit. A typical relay has three terminals. The coil in a relay functions to activate the relay by providing power to it. A normally open relay has contacts that are open when not activated, while a normally closed relay has contacts that are closed when not activated. A SPDT relay is commonly used to control high-power devices like headlights. A diode protects the relay from voltage spikes. A relay socket holds the relay securely and provides a connection to the wiring harness. A relay can be tested for proper function

    What is the function of the coil in an automotive relay?

    a. To provide power to the relay

    b. To activate the relay

    c. To regulate the voltage of the relay

    What is the difference between a normally open (NO) and a normally closed (NC) automotive relay?

    a. In a NO relay, the contacts are open when the relay is not activated, while in a NC relay, the contacts
    are closed when the relay is not activated.

    b. In a NO relay, the contacts are closed when the relay is not activated, while in a NC relay, the contacts
    are open when the relay is not activated.

    What is a relay socket used for in an automotive relay system?

    a. To hold the relay securely in place

    b. To provide a connection between the relay and the wiring harness

    c. To prevent the relay from overheating

    How can you test an automotive relay to see if it is working properly?

    a. Use a multimeter to check for continuity across the relay contacts

    b. Use a voltmeter to check for voltage at the relay coil

    c. Use a test light to check for power at the relay contacts
