Typically the frequency of the AC electrical current feeding the bell. This can be 50CPS or 60CPS depending on the country. Sometimes bell manufacturers put a diode in series with the bell circuit that lops off half the current cycle creating either a 25cps or 30cps bell ringing frequency. Old electromechanical central offices used to ring the bell on party line phones with different frequencies. Each subscriber had a capacitor tuned to the bell coil that was "excited" at a different natural frequency allowing up to 4 people to share a single phone line and be individually notified of a call for them. The frequencies they used were 20, 30,40, 60 cps.

How do electric bells use electromagnets?
When an electric bell is operated, a current pass through an electro-magnet intermittently. The plunger moves back and forth due to intermittent magnetic operation. The moving plunger or lever connected to it hits a metallic body intermittently to ring the bell. The movement of plunger itself cuts off and cuts in the electric circuit intermittently.
What is principle of operation of a multicavity magnetron?
Imagine a tuned cavity i.e. a bell. When it is struck, it provides a sound wave of fixed frequency. If it is struck several times a second, it provides the same frequency at a much higher volume. The striking of the bell is known as the pulse repetition frequency (PRF) and it is this that dictates the power output of a magnetron. The dimensions of the cavities govern the output frequency. Instead of striking a magnetron, it is pulsed across its anode and cathode by a high DC voltage. This is the energy input that equates to the striking of the bell. The gap between the cathode and anode is a vacuum. Electrons being emitted by the heated cathode each time it is pulsed or 'struck' transfer the energy to the cavities. These electrons bunch in reaction to the tuned frequency of the cavities, forming spokes circulating the cathode. Eventually, the electrons strike the anode and cause the cavities to 'ring' at the tuned frequency. One of the cavities has a loop that extracts the energy into a coax/waveguide.
Can an electric bell work on an ac supply?
Is it a doorbell? What do you need the bell for? The type of bell determines what source of electricity is used. Once you determine the type of bell it is, you can hook it up to the right circuit. I had to install a doorbell that worked off the AC current. I also installed one that contained a battery. When you say electric bell, you need to clarify what type of bell it is so a more accurate answer can be given, especially if the answer I provided above it not accurate for you. Thanks for your question.
Who invented electric bell?
Joseph Adelard Willie Jacob, invented the electric bell in Montreal in 1936 (patent received on Sept. 8th of that year). He first invented it to be used on fire trucks instead of the manual bells used at the time. The other gentlemen's name on the patent was not an inventor, but the investor (businesss man). He insisted on having his name on the patent even though he had absolutely no technical background.
What does an electric current act like when it flows through a wire?
it depends on the frequency of the current in question. the higher the frequency, the less depth in the cross-section the current flows. this is termed skin depth.
If alternate current is pass trough electric bell will it ring?
if alternate current is pass through electric bell will it ring?
Do electric current cause coiled wire to become an electric bell?
No. A coiled wire can never become an electric bell without some more piecesand parts. When you have those, however, assembled in the right way, it's truethat passing an electric current through the coiled wire will cause the bell to ring.
Why don't we use permanent magnets in electric bell?
permanent magnets are not used in electric bells because they do not make the bells to ring well

Do you have to ring the bells in order in harvest moon?
In Animal Parade, there's no set order to ring the bells. However, you'll have to ring the Blue Bell before you ring the Green Bell. Also, the Purple Bell has to be the last bell you ring: they won't let you ring it before all of the others are rung.
