A relay is a part that acts like a switch that can be controlled by an Arduino. They usually are powered by sending current through a coil, which moves a piece of metal to touch a contact within it. (Note there are also solid state relays which act more like a transistor.) The moving parts is why some devices make a "clicking" noise when they turn on/off a light or another device attached to it.

Connections
I have the following connections:
Output 3 (Arduino) to Input 4 (Relay)
5V (Arduino) to Input VCC (Relay) [The one next to the input pins]
Power supply positive/ground to GND (Relay … What did work was the following configuration:
Output 3 (Arduino) to Input 4 (Relay)
5V (Arduino) to Input VCC (Relay) [The one next to the input pins]
Jumper across VCC and JD-VCC on the Relay …
