The Relay
How does a simple relay help us understand electricity and circuits? In this episode of Science LIVE, Roger Billings breaks down the science behind the relay—the clever electromagnetic switch that makes it possible to control circuits with precision. Learn how relays work, why they’re essential in everyday electronics, and how this simple idea became a building block for modern technology. A clear, hands-on look at one of engineering’s most important tools.

this is so cool, i learned so much
Love it💟
Never knew that they were so important to technology!
Electricity and Inventing interests me the most when it comes to science!!
R51 is certainly an interesting character, a nice twist of humor within education!
Why do the base pairs have to be different?
I really like this one!
I loved this video! R51 is awesome
How does a simple help us understand electricity and ciruits
Thanks for this!
We today use alot of electromagnetic switches
I really enjoyed this episode.
WD-40 has much more uses than i knew
