Explain to me how a loudspeaker works:
An
alternating
current flows through and induces a
magnetic field
in the
coil
The magnetic field of the
coil
then
interacts
with the magnetic field of the
permanent magnet
This exerts a
force
on the coil, pushing it back on forth along magnet due to the
alternating
current
The alternating movement will produce vibrations leading to
sound
waves
Explain to me how an Electric Bell works:
When
switch
is closed, circuit is complete so a
current
flows and
induces
a
magnetic field
due to the
electromagnet
.
The electromagnet
attracts
the metal arm, causing it to hit the bell. This
breaks
the circuit.
The Magnetic field fades away and the metal arm returns to its place completing the
circuit
again, repeating the process
