Turn signal and atomic clock: what they have in common

1. Step 1. Turn signal — uses — Relay. A flasher relay.
2. Step 2. Relay — has part — Electromagnet. An electromagnet switches the contacts.
3. Step 3. Electromagnet — works like — Inductor. An inductor and an electromagnet are both coiled wire; current through them makes a magnetic field.
4. Step 4. Inductor — is part of — Oscillator. An LC circuit.
5. Step 5. Oscillator — is part of — Atomic clock. A quartz oscillator is tuned to the atoms.
