Question

Explain the construction and working
of electric doorbell with the help of
diagram​

Answer 1

Answer:

The construction of an electric bell:

The construction of an electric bell consists of a gong, an electromagnet, a soft iron rod and a contact screw.

The working of an electric bell:

When the current passes through the electromagnet, it becomes magnetized which helps to attract the armature and after this the hammer raids and attract the armature. At that time, electromagnet didn’t behave as a magnet because of the breaking contact with the screw. So, again armature comes down to make the contact with the screw. This cycle keeps on repeating.

Answer 2

Answer:

The electric bell works on the principle of the electromagnet. Its construction is shown in the above figure.

Construction: It is made of an electromagnet, bell(metallic cup), soft iron strip(which works as a hammer) and contact screw. The bell is a cup-shaped device made of metal. A soft iron strip works as a small hammer.

Working: When current is passed through the circuit, the electromagnet acts like a magnet and attracts the iron strip. The iron strip(hammer), being elastic, strikes the bell. Simultaneously, its contact with the screw is broken, the circuit breaks and the current stops flowing through the electromagnet. As such, the iron strip returns to its original position, and again the current passes through the electromagnet.

This phenomenon happens many times in a second, and as the hammer strikes the bell, the sound is heard. The bell rings till the circuit has been switched off. The electric bell is used in alarms and bells is schools, offices, homes and industries.

This is the right answer for your question.
