What is the primary function of a time delay relay?

• To decrease the current in a circuit

• To provide immediate power to a circuit

• To increase the voltage in a circuit

• To delay the energizing of a secondary circuit

Which type of relay is used when a delayed response is needed?

• Solid-state relay

• Time delay relay

• Normally closed relay

• Normally open relay

In which applications are timing relays commonly used?

• Residential lighting

• Industrial automation

• Personal electronics

• Automobile engines

What is a common feature of multifunction relays?

• They have a built-in LED indicator

• They are only used in HVAC systems

• They require complex programming

• They cannot control voltages

What should be considered when applying a time delay relay?

• The weight of the relay

• The brand of the relay

• The installation location and trigger

• The color of the relay

How can the discharge rate of a capacitor affect an LED in a delay circuit?

• It causes the LED to dim slowly

• It makes the LED brighter

• It turns the LED off immediately

• It causes the LED to blink rapidly

What role does a transistor play in a delay circuit?

• It acts as a power source

• It functions as a switch

• It reduces circuit resistance

• It stores electrical energy

What is the purpose of a Zener diode in a delay circuit?

• To store electrical charge

• To allow current flow at a specific reverse voltage

• To block current in both directions

• To increase current flow

What happens when the voltage exceeds the Zener diode's breakdown voltage?

• The diode blocks all current

• The diode allows current to flow

• The diode increases the circuit's resistance

• The diode decreases the circuit's voltage

What is a common alternative to using a simple delay circuit with discrete components?

• Using a light bulb

• Using a potentiometer

• Using a 555 timer IC

• Using a mechanical switch
