Alexander Graham Bell is best known for inventing the telephone, which significantly advanced communication technology and utilized principles of electricity. His work in developing the telephone involved understanding and applying electrical currents to transmit sound over distances. Additionally, Bell conducted research in other areas related to electricity, including the photophone, which transmitted sound on a beam of light, further exploring the intersections of sound and electrical transmission. His contributions laid the groundwork for modern telecommunications.

Did Thomas Edison invent the AC?

No In 1859 Gaston Plante, a French physicist invented the first rechargeable battery


How was thomas Edison and Alexander bell the same?

they both died at same age.


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 was the black assistant of Thomas Edison?

Lewis Latimer was Edison's as well as Alexander Graham Bell's Assistant, having drawn up the plans for the telephone that Bell, an audiologist, invented. Latimer also came up with the substance used in the filament of Edison's successful version of the Incandescent Light Bulb and wrote the original manual for electrical distribution, but was barred, in the 1870's through the 1920's until admitted then to the EDISON PIONEERS...... Mr. Latimer was born September 4, 1848 in Chelsea, Massachusetts and died on December 11, 1928 in New York City, New York.


Frequency of ring of an electric bell?

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.
