Expalim the working of a simple electric bell with a labelled diagram
Answers
Answer:
ntroduction
The electric doorbell is a simple circuit that triggers a sound on the completion of circuit by pressing the button. It is this simplicity that makes doorbell such a marvel. The simple devices in the doorbell put the scientific principle of electromagnetism into action in a useful way. In order to understand the operations of an electric bell, you should first need to understand what is an electromagnet. Well, to put it in simple words, an electromagnet is basically a type of magnet in which the magnetic field is produced with the help of an electric current. When any electrical influences electromagnet it works as a standard magnet (generating magnetic fields). When the power generation to an electromagnet stops, the production of the magnetic field also stops.
So, in an electric bell, an electromagnet forms an important part along with Armature, Spring, Armature rod, Hammer and a Gong.
The image below shows the internal mechanism of an electric bell.
Process of the working of an electric bell
Now that you have an understanding of the important parts in an electric bell, the step-by-step process of the working of the electric bell is described below:
The switch is pressed and current flows through the circuit.
The electromagnet is powered and generates a magnetic field that attracts the iron strip towards it.
The striker strikes the gong (bell).
When the striking arm strikes the gong, the contact is broken and current stops flowing through the circuit.
This causes the electromagnet to lose its magnetic field.
The connected spring arm returns the striker to its original rest position.
The contact is restored and current flows through the circuit (provided the main switch is still pressed).
The process is repeated from the beginning.
Answer:
An electric bell contains an electromagnet, consisting of coils of insulated wire wound round iron rods. When an electric current flows through the coils, the rods become magnetic and attract a piece of iron attached to a clapper. The clapper hits the bell and makes it ring.
