Working of circuit Breakers and relays

Question

Accepted Answer

Circuit breakers are devices that automatically stop the flow of electricity when a fault is detected, while relays are switches that open or close circuits based on electrical signals.

Circuit breakers are designed to protect electrical circuits from damage caused by overcurrent or short circuits.
They work by detecting abnormal current flow and quickly interrupting the circuit to prevent damage.
Relays are electromechanical switches that open or close circuits based on electrical signals.
They are commonly used in control systems to switch high voltage or high current circuits with a low voltage signal.
Examples of circuit breakers include thermal-magnetic, electronic, and residual-current devices.
Examples of relays include electromagnetic, solid-state, and reed relays.
