(a) Graphical illustration of relay hysteresis. As current is increasing, the switching occurs
when the pull-in value is reached. As current is decreasing, the switching occurs when the dropout value is reached. (b) The essential p
parts of an electromagnet

relay.
y Hysteresis
y
is due to
the gap between the armature and the magnet core.
