tends to trip may be increased by turning the dashpot in the “lower”
direction. This action.

A. reduces magnetic force on the plunger and requires more current to

trip the relay
B. reduces magnetic force on the plunger and requires less current to
trip the relay
C. increases magnetic force on the plunger and requires more current
to trip the relay
D. increases magnetic force on the plunger and requires less current to
trip the relay
