An electric bell works through an electromagnet that causes a clapper to strike a bell or gong. When electric current is applied to the electromagnet, it pulls the clapper towards the bell to produce a buzzing or clanging sound. Electric bells have been widely used as alarms in applications like railroads, telephones, fire alarms, and doors. The bell is struck by a spring-loaded arm holding a metal ball called a clapper, which is pulled by the electromagnet when powered. Electric bells provide an inexpensive alarm option that uses little electricity and can perform over 100,000 operations with low voltage between 10-24 volts.

2. INTRODUCTIONINTRODUCTION
An electric bell is a
mechanical bell that
functions by means of
an electromagnet. When
an electric current is
applied, it produces a
repetitive buzzing or
clanging sound. Electric
bells have been widely

4. WORKINGWORKING
The Bell or gong ,which is
often in the shape of a cup
or half sphere, is struck by
spring loaded arm with a
metal ball on the end
called a clapper ,actuated
by an electromagnet.
In its rest position the
clapper is held away from

5. ApplicationsApplications
They are used in fire or burglar alarms.
It is used as alarms at some industrial
plants because it is replaced by
electronic sounders.
It is used as a door bell.

6. ADVANTAGESADVANTAGES
Low cost.
Less use of electricity.
Can perform for more than 100000
operations.

7. DISADVANTAGESDISADVANTAGES
It performs only once for one push of
bell.
It can be destroyed when there is sudden
current loss.
In rainy season we can also get shock
from it if there is no earthing.
