How to Incorporate a Switch Activated by Zero Voltage in a Circuit?

AI Thread Summary
To incorporate a switch activated by zero voltage in a circuit, a normally closed switch or multi-pole relay can be utilized, which features both normally open (NO) and normally closed (NC) contacts. The circuit operates with a constant voltage that drops to zero when a button is pressed and returns to normal upon release. A negative edge-triggered toggle flip-flop can be employed to maintain the switch's activation state when the voltage is zero. The output from the toggle flip-flop should be connected to a relay to control the circuit effectively. This approach ensures the switch remains activated until the voltage drops to zero again.

I have a circuit in which I have a constant voltage passing through until I hold down on a button at which point the voltage drops to zero. When I let go of the button the voltage returns to normal. I need to add to the circuit a switch which activates when a voltage of zero is passing through and remains turned on until a voltage of zero is again passing through.
How Can I do this?

Google Normally Closed Switch.

Multi pole relays have both normally open and normally closed contacts. Look for NO and NC on the case switch diagram.

Voltage cannot pass through components in a circuit. Voltage is a quantity measured across terminals in a circuit. Only current can pass through components in a circuit. Any way from your question I guess you may have to use a negative edge triggered Toggle Flip Flop. The output of toggle flipflop should be connected to a relay.
 
Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'
I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
