This phenomenon occurs through a physical principle, based on the coupling magnet that is generated through a passage a small excitation current, which is supplied by the Arduino. There are two configurations with regard to the relay: 1. NO (Normally open) 2. NC (Normally closed) These two configurations differ only in the code you need to write in Arduino.
