The Microphone (T)

Cards (9)

  • What is the main topic of the video?
    The video explains how a moving coil microphone works.
  • What is the generator effect in relation to a conducting wire?
    • A conducting wire passing through a magnetic field induces a potential difference.
    • If the wire forms a complete circuit, a current is induced.
  • How does a moving coil microphone utilize the generator effect?
    A moving coil microphone uses the generator effect to induce a potential difference when sound waves vibrate the diaphragm.
  • What components are found inside a moving coil microphone?
    • A coil of wire
    • A diaphragm (thin sheet of plastic)
    • A permanent magnet
  • What happens to the coil of wire when sound waves hit the diaphragm?
    The coil of wire moves in and out through the magnetic field due to the diaphragm's vibrations.
  • How does the movement of the coil affect the potential difference in a moving coil microphone?
    The coil's movement induces a potential difference that switches direction with its motion.
  • What is the relationship between the frequency of the changing potential difference and the frequency of sound waves?
    • The frequency of the changing potential difference is the same as the frequency of the sound waves.
  • What happens to the changing pattern of potential difference in a moving coil microphone?
    It is passed to an amplifier to increase the volume of the sound.
  • What is the purpose of the amplifier in a moving coil microphone system?
    • To increase the volume of the sound.
