relét
The term "relét" is a French word that translates to "relay" in English. In its most common technical context, a relay is an electrically operated switch. It uses a small electrical current to control a much larger current, making it useful for isolating circuits or controlling high-power devices with low-power signals. Relays are composed of an electromagnet, an armature, and a set of electrical contacts. When current flows through the electromagnet's coil, it creates a magnetic field that pulls the armature, causing the contacts to either open or close, thereby switching the controlled circuit.
Beyond the technical definition, "relét" can also be used more generally in French to refer to any
