    The document describes several electrical components and circuits: 1) A circuit breaker breaks an electrical circuit if too much current flows to protect the circuit. 2) A relay uses an electromagnet to operate a switch that completes a circuit to start a car's motor when the ignition key is turned. 3) An electromagnet unlocks a door when a switch is closed by attracting an iron arm and contacts.

    Uses of an electromagnet

    The Circuit Breaker

    The diagram shows a circuit breaker.

    A circuit breaker is used, instead of a fuse, to protect an electrical circuit. If the current flowing gets
    too big the circuit breaker breaks the circuit.

    Explain how the circuit breaker works.


    Uses of an electromagnet

    The Circuit Breaker

    A fault in an electrical circuit can cause too great a current to flow. Some circuits are switched off by a
    circuit breaker.

    One type of circuit breaker is shown above. A normal current is flowing.


    Explain, in full detail, what happens when a current which is bigger than normal flows.
    Uses of an electromagnet

    The Relay
    The diagram shows a switch that is operated by an electromagnet.

    Pivot

    Iron arm
    Electromagnet
    Contacts

    The switch is used in a car starter motor circuit.

    Ignition
    key

    M
    Starter motor

    Explain how turning the ignition key makes a current flow in the starter motor.
    Uses of an electromagnet

    The Electromagnet
    The diagram below shows a door lock which can be opened from a flat inside a building.

    Explain how the door is unlocked when the switch is closed.


    Uses of an electromagnet

    The Electric Bell

    Explain how the electric bell works.


    Uses of an electromagnet

    The Residual Current detector

    Explain how the RCD works.
