Answer / thowsif_emerson
A relay is an electrical switch that opens and closes under
the control of another electrical circuit. In the original
form, the switch is operated by an electromagnet to open or

Answer / mohammed yousuf khan
A Relay is a device which senses the fault in the circuit and sends signal to the Circuit Breaker to break the circuit.
There is a difference between a relay and a circuit breaker, both are entirely different.
In a circuit, duty of Relay is to sense the fault whereas Circuit breaker should break the circuit upon receiving signal from the relay.
In a circuit, Relay as Master and Circuit Breaker as Slave.
