Physics Project

This document describes a physics project on building an electric bell. It presents the project to V.K. Gupta and was completed by Devanshu Kumar of Class 12 at Abhinav Public School under Mr. Gupta's guidance. The project discusses what an electric bell is, how it works using electromagnetism, and the materials and step-by-step procedure to build a basic electric bell circuit with a wooden frame, nails, wires and batteries. Safety precautions for the project are also provided.

What is an Electric bell?
An electric bell is a very useful device. It
comprises of a simple circuit that creates a
sound when we press its button. This
marvellous wonder is quite simple yet very
useful.

It applies the principle of electromagnetism in


a practical manner. Hence, we must first
understand all about an electromagnet to
understand the functioning of an electric bell.

The functioning of an Electric Bell

An electric bell depends on two things which are the


opening and closing of a circuit plus electromagnet.
When the power is running through the circuit of the
electric bell, a mounted metal clapper is drawn towards
the bell through an electromagnet which strikes it. But,
when the electromagnet pulls the clapper, it results in
the breaking of the bell circuit.

Thus, when the magnet no longer draws it, the clapper


falls back into the resting position. When it’s at its
resting position, the clapper completes the circuit again
which causes the current to pass back through the
electromagnet. This once again draws the clapper
towards the electric bell.

AIM:
Building the Electric Bell

Materials Required:
Wire
Nails
Hammer
Wooden U frame
Wooden screws

Procedure
1.Start by wrapping the wire around one of the nails. Remember to
sand off any kind of insulation from either of the ends of the wire.
This will serve as your electromagnet.

2. Further, you need to slide the electromagnet through a hole in one


upright of your wooden U frame. Use a wooden screw to mount the
metal clapper into the bottom interior of your wooden U frame. You
can use additional wood screws to mount wires to the wooden frame.

3. Do it in such a way that the hammerhead is able to move freely


back and forth. After that, one wire end from the electromagnet
should be connected to the bottom of the clapper.

4. Then, drill a hole into the other upright of the wooden U frame.
Slide the other nail through this hole and attach a regular electric wire
to it.

5. You will then be required to attach the standard wire from the nail
to one of the ends of the two AA batteries which are connected in a
series, either negative or positive. Then, you must attach then free
wire from the electromagnet to the other end of the batteries.
6. After that, you must mount the whole setup allowing it to lie flat on
the wooden board. This makes room for the bell so we can mount it
near the head of the clapper. Next up, you will have to adjust both the
nails and the electromagnet allowing the clapper to rapidly oscillate
back and forth.

7. Finally, just mount the bell on the wooden board. This will enable
the clapper to repeatedly strike it whenever the circuit along with the
electromagnet becomes complete. Always remember to never power
your homemade bell with an electrical outlet.

Precaution
1. Be careful while using hammer and nails
2. Don't use rusty nails
3. Join wires properly
