Galvanized steel conductors do not corrode, and possess high resistance. Hence such Wires are used in telecommunications circuits, earth wires, guard wire, stray wire, etc.
The circuit shown in the question is an AND GATE. In an AND gate has two or more inputs but it has only one output. An input signal applied to a gate has only two stable states, either 1 (HIGH) or 0 (LOW). In AND gate for any input A&B the output is A.B.
The reluctance of any part of a magnetic circuit may be defined as the ratio of the drop in magnetomotive force to the flux produced in that part of the circuit. It is measured in ampere-turns/Weber and is denoted by S. Reluctance = m.m.f ⁄ flux
