What is the correct way to add a flyback diode for a relay?(1 Point)Option 1Option 2Option 3

The correct way to add a flyback diode for a relay is as follows:

1. Identify the coil terminals of the relay. These are usually the terminals that activate the relay switch.

2. Choose a diode that can handle the voltage and current of the relay. The diode should have a reverse breakdown voltage greater than the relay voltage and a forward current rating greater than the relay coil current.

3. Connect the cathode (the end marked with a stripe) of the diode to the positive terminal of the relay coil.

4. Connect the anode (the unmarked end) of the diode to the negative terminal of the relay coil.

5. Ensure that the diode is connected in parallel with the relay coil and in reverse bias. This means that under normal operation, the diode does not conduct electricity.

The purpose of the flyback diode is to protect the relay from voltage spikes that occur when the relay coil is de-energized. The diode provides a path for the current to circulate through the coil until the energy is dissipated, preventing a damaging voltage spike.
