Best Answer

The diaphragm is the part of the speaker that physically interacts with the air to produce sound. The electromagnets underneath the diaphragm create motion, and it is the repeated in/out movements of the diaphragm that change the position of the air particles in the surroundings, creating sound waves. Larger movements lead to a louder sound, whereas the frequency of the movement correlates to the pitch.

How does an electro magnet work in a speaker?

The electromagnet is used to vibrate the diaphragm of the speaker and a given rate (frequency) to produce a given sound.


What vibrates inside a speaker?

The diaphragm.


What is the technical name for the cone of the speaker?

What is the energy transformation in a speaker connected to a radio?

Electrical energy is used to vibrate a diaphragm. The mechanical energy so produced vibrates the air molecules in contact with the diaphragm and these vibrations are then propagated as sound.


What electrical device is a diaphragm found in?

A diaphragm will be found in both a microphone, and a speaker; both being transducers across electrical to air pressure.


What are the basic components used in a speaker device?

A speaker device has many basic components. The more important parts include the frame or basket, diaphragm, spider, voice coil, dust cap, and pole piece.


What type of microphone is most similar to a speaker?

A dynamic microphone is most similar to a speaker. They both consist of a diaphragm, a voice coil and a magnet.


Why high frequency sound cannot be reproduced by a large size speaker?

Inertia of the diaphragm. A loudspeaker is a physical device, and as such has it's own limitations. Note, there are ways to move air without a diaphragm - in which case the "size" of the speaker would not be relevant.


In what way is your eardrum like a speaker?

The eardrum is more like a sensing microphone's diaphragm or membrane.


How does a magnet work in a speaker?

From what i have been learnt, the magnet is connected to the diaphragm (the material which covers it) of the speaker and as electric current is passed in this causes the magnet to 'Push' and 'Pull' on the diaphragm making this move resulting in sound waves being produced, these sound waves then enter your ear making you hear the noise. So the magnet helps produce the sound you hear from a speaker.


What would happen if the diaphragm of a speaker exceeded the sound barrier?

Exceeding the sound barrier refers to speed of travel, not loudness of sound. A speaker cannot "exceed the sound barrier".
