Question

In an electric bell, when a soft iron strip gets attracted to the electromagnet, it gets detached from the hammer.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

1. In an electric bell, a small hammer is attached to the iron armature.
2. When the circuit is closed, the iron inside the electric bell gets magnetized and it attracts the iron armature.
3. The movement of the iron armature towards the magnet makes the hammer strike the bell.
4. Thus soft iron strip does not get detached from the hammer.
   Hence the given statement is false.
