Explanation
Electric Bell Circuit Deactivation
Steps:
- Battery disconnection interrupts current flow in the circuit.
- Electromagnet loses magnetic field without current.
- Iron armature, no longer attracted, falls due to gravity.
- Bell stops ringing as the striker no longer vibrates against it.
Why A is correct:
- Electromagnetic induction law: No current means no magnetic force, so armature falls and ringing ceases.
Why the others are wrong:
- B: Armature falls, not moves up, without magnetic attraction.
- C: Armature falls and bell stops, not the reverse.
- D: Bell stops when armature falls, not continues ringing.
Final answer: A
