Reed switch
Reed switch with coil. The reed switch, inside the coil of wire, is an electrical component that is placed in a circuit to allow the circuit to be switched on and off by completing or breaking the circuit. The switch is activated by magnetism, here by an electromagnetic coil. The electricity that flows through the coil magnetizes whatever is inside it. In this case, it magnetizes two metal contacts inside the switch. These contacts attract each other, bend, and touch. This completes the circuit. When the electromagnet is switched off, the magnetism is lost, and the contacts spring apart. For internal details, see T355/242

A2 Poster (59.4 x 42cm, 23.4" x 16.5" inches) printed on 170gsm Satin Poster Paper. Securely packaged, rolled and inserted into a strong mailing tube and shipped tracked. Poster Prints are of comparable archival quality to our Photographic prints, they are simply printed on thinner Poster Paper. Whilst we only use Photographic Prints in our frames, you can frame Poster Prints if they are carefully supported to prevent sagging over time.
Poster prints are budget friendly enlarged prints in standard poster paper sizes (A0, A1, A2, A3 etc). Whilst poster paper is sometimes thinner and less durable than our other paper types, they are still ok for framing and should last many years. Our Archival Quality Photo Prints and Fine Art Paper Prints are printed on higher quality paper and the choice of which largely depends on your budget.
Estimated Image Size (if not cropped) is 56.5cm x 42cm (22.2" x 16.5")
Estimated Product Size is 59.4cm x 42cm (23.4" x 16.5")
These are individually made so all sizes are approximate
Artwork printed orientated as per the preview above, with landscape (horizontal) orientation to match the source image.
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate workings of a Reed switch with coil. A vital electrical component, the Reed switch is strategically placed within a circuit to enable seamless switching on and off by completing or breaking the circuit. In this particular image, we witness the activation of the switch through magnetism generated by an electromagnetic coil. As electricity courses through the coil, it imparts magnetization onto its surroundings. Within the Reed switch lie two metal contacts that are irresistibly drawn towards each other due to their newfound magnetic properties. The contacts gracefully bend and ultimately make contact, successfully closing the circuit and allowing for uninterrupted flow of electricity. However, when this electromagnet is deactivated, its magnetic influence dissipates instantly. Consequently, these once-attracted metal contacts spring apart swiftly, resulting in an open circuit state once again. The internal intricacies of this technological marvel are truly fascinating; they exemplify how physics seamlessly intertwines with electronics to create functional devices like Reed switches. This photograph serves as a testament to mankind's relentless pursuit of harnessing natural forces such as magnetism for our benefit in various fields including technology and engineering.
