As soon as the electromagnet gets activated it would pull the hammer towards the metal to produce the sound and at the same time the electrical circuit will be broken and so the electromagnet would stop attracting the hammer and so hammer goes back and again the circuit is completed. So the cycle starts newly. Thus the electromagnet switches off and switches on the circuit successively and also makes the hammer to hit the bell.
The pushing of the doorbell closes an electric circuit. Then electric current flows through an electromagnet, and the doorbell rings.

An electric bell works by having an magnet pull a striking device (hammer or clapper) against a vibrating surface. By making the magnet an electromagnet, the striking device can be activated with a remote button, timer, or other device that will turn on an electric current to activate the striker and ring the bell.

They are used to attract an armature, the end of which has a hammer, which strikes the bell.

The armature also contains contacts, which conduct the current to the electromagnet.

The action of attracting the hammer, also breaks the circuit allowing the hammer to spring back after hitting the bell and remaking the contact.

The hammer will spring back and forth, at the resonant frequency of the hammer, armature and spring assembly.

So, the elctromagnet is used as a magnet, that can be swithed on and off automatically, as part of an electric bell circuit.

The electromagnets are in the chime. When the electromagnets are energized, the plunger hits the chime plate.

How does a doorbell use an electromagnet?

The electromagnet is only part of the mechinism the whole item is called a solenoid which has a magnetized rod inside the electromagnet when 24 volts is applied the solenoid springs out of the coils of the electromagnet striking the bell. When released the rod returns by use of a spring and strikes another bell. Ding, Dong.

What is the role of an electromagnet in a doorbell?

The electromagnet pulls a plunger which then hits the bell. The action of being pulled, also breaks the power to the electromagnet, so it returns almost immediately, making the power again. This action repeats for as long as the pull push is pressed, causing the plunger to vibrate and the bell to ring.

Are Electromagnets used in doorbells?

Some doorbells have a "clapper" (a small hammer) that hits one or more bells (often tubes of metal) the action of the hitting can be initiated by an electromagnet pulling the clapper. The doorbell switch can in such an arrangement close the circuit to the electromagnet.
