Can earphones be used a microphone when plugged into the microphone jack on a computer?
Not recommended, but yes many earphones will work but give very poor quality sound and probably not enough volume to be useful.
Most earphones contain a small coil of wire on a movable form around a small magnet. The current sent from the PC earphone socket through the coil causes vibrations which can be heard. Making a noise close to the earphone will cause the coil to vibrate and generate a small current which the microphone socket should be able to pick up.
Some microphone inputs will expect an electret condenser microphone and so will not work with a dynamic input.
