What machine uses a reed switch?
Old telephones for the hook switch. c. 1960-1985
Does a key or reed switch have a symbol which could be put in a circuit diagram?
yes
What is an advantage of using an electromagnet over a permanent magnet?
The advantage of an elecromagnet is that you can turn it on and off with a simple switch. So for example if you want to pick up a scrap car with a crane/electromagnet and move it, you can turn the electromagnet off when you want to release the car. You could not do the with a permanent magnet obviously.
How do electric magnets work?
An electromagnet works by focusing electricity into a metal bar with many windings of conductive wire and making it magnetic. Electricity passing through a wire makes a field. Concentrating that field makes an usable electromagnet. Faraday demonstrated this.
What is a solenoid with a ferromagnetic core called?
Its called an electromagnet
How does a scrap heap crane work?
A scrapheap crane works simply by a piece of soft iron surrounded in coper coiled coil and a electromagnet. when the switch is activated a current is sent from the battery to the electromagnet!
What does the switch do to the electro magnet?
The switch is turned on to activate the electromagnet, and metal is attracted. Turning off the switch stops the electromagnet from working, and metal is no longer attracted.
What is a reed switch used for?
A reed switch uses two magnetized strips of metal to make or break a contact when a magnet is brought close to them. The door magnet near a reed switch on the door casing will cause the reed switch to close and moving the magnet away will cause the reed switch to open.
What is a reversing switch that rotates with an electromagnet?
Commutator
How does electric bell using an electromagnet works?
When the bell switch is pressed, this completes the circuit. So, the electromagnet becomes magnetised and is attracted to an iron armature, which then hits the bell. Because the armature has moved it has broken the circuit so it moves back. When it moves back it completes the circuit again and so carries on ringing the bell like this until the switch is released.
On a reed switch why are the strips made of iron and not steel?
because a reed switch is like an electromagnet so the purpose of it is that it will spring open when you remove the magnet. Iron is better because it looses it's magnetism quicker, whereas steel strips don't loose their magnetism as quickly so when you do remove the magnet, a steel strip would stay closed for a while longer rather than open straight away :D
How does a reed switch work?
Air pressure developed in the lungs blown into the mouth cavity and across the reed causes the reed to produce a mechanical resonance (it vibrates) at the natural resonant frequency of the reed. In the case of most reed instruments further tuning is achieved by changing the resonant cavity size of the instruments piping.
How can you turn off an electromagnet?
An electromagnet requires electric power to be a magnet. You turn it off the same way you turn off a light, by turning the switch.
Can a reed switch affect the brightness of a bulb?
It can, but it should not. If it does, then the reed-switch is defective ... its contacts have most likely deteriorated on account of excessive current at some time.
How do you switch poles in electromagnetic field?
You get a battery, switch, nail and copper wire. You connect one end of the battery to the switch and the other end to the nail that is wrapped with some copper wire. The end of the switch that isn't connected you connect to the electromagnet.

How does metal corrosion affect a reed switch?
