Please I need a clear explanation and clear handwriting with explanaing this for me because I am realy confused and need help. Thanks in advance
My lab was about Magnets and Magnetic fields. This is the question I need to answer for!
R3: Explain how a speaker works by explaining why each part is required. after that Summarize R3’s answer by explaining why the proffesor homemade earbud is so much superior to the one that you made.
When things shake about, or vibrate, they make the sounds. If you thump a kettle-drum with a stick, you can see the tight drum skin moving up and down very quickly for some time afterward—pumping sound waves into the air. Loudspeakers work in a similar way.
Working:- At the front of a loudspeaker, there is a fabric, plastic, paper, or lightweight metal cone a diaphragm not unlike a drum skin (colored gray in our picture). The outer part of the cone is fastened to the outer part of the loudspeaker's circular metal rim. The inner part is fixed to an iron coil a.k.a the voice coil, (colored orange in the diagram) that sits just in front of a permanent magnet(sometimes called the field magnet, and colored yellow). When you hook up the loudspeaker to a stereo, electrical signals feed through the speaker cables (red) into the coil. This turns the coil into a temporary magnet or electromagnet. As the electricity flows back and forth in the cables, the electromagnet either attracts or repels the permanent magnet. This moves the coil back and forward, pulling and pushing the loudspeaker cone. Like a drum skin vibrating back and forth, the moving cone pumps sounds out into the air.
