How does a telephone use electromagnets?

The crank on it formed a generator and the field in the bell coil made it ring.


How does a speaker and a microphone work in opposite ways?

A microphone converts sound into electrical impulses. A speaker converts electrical impulses into sound. Because they both work on the same principle, a changing electrical field (the audio signal) in a coil causes a magnet within the coil to vibrate in tandem. The magnet is attached usually to a paper cone which allow our ears to hear the sound. The converse is also true. For example if you talk into a headphone it causes the magnet to vibrate which produces an electrical signal in the coil which is connected to the headphone cable. Ram did this : ok micro phones convert mechanical energy which is te air from your mouth to mechanical ugh ohhhhhhh cccrapp 8=======D---


How are electronic volumes measured?

electronic volume can be measured by using transducer transducer is a device which convert non electrical signal to electrical signal. First you need a microphone which is a transducer after that apply the sound vibration on this microphone it will produce a voltage the voltage is directly proportional to applied sound volume level. it measure in decibel.


What is a mic output?

Sound pressure hits a microphone's diaphragm and the microphone converts this acoustic pressure wave to a audio voltage wave. The microphone's output is called sensitivity of the mic.. Scroll down to related links and look at "Microphone sensitivity conversion - transfer factor".


What does a microphone do?

A MICRO-phone is an extremely small phone used for communications between two individuals. A: Some microphones are not extremely small but rather large!! the use is to provide a signal to an amplifier whereby the microphone pickup can be listen to.

How does microphones change sound energy to electrical energy?

Teh varying pressure of the air (the sound) causes a varying electric potential in microphones. There are various techniques, one is called "dynamic microphone" whereby a membrane with a coil is allowed to move inside a magnetic field. The sound moves the membrane, the movement of the coil inside the magnetic field generates a current in the wire which is the signal. Ten kinds of microphone are discussed on Wikipedia (see Related link below)
