Good morning, Mrs. Hess' Class! We're glad you're here! We Wonder if you have a circuit doorbell at home, or perhaps it's a electronic doorbell? It's cool to think about the connections we have with certain sounds, isn't it? If we hear a two-tone sound, we often think of a doorbell. Our brains connect that sound with the idea of someone being at the door! Leslie and Briahna, we're glad you shared your connections. We hope you stay away from scary movies and focus on building cool contraptions!
Hey there, great work, Annie ! We are glad to hear that you have been using context clues to form your predictions! You're right about the door, too!
We have to go See you tomorrow, Wonder Friend! Can't wait to Wonder with you soon! We are undergoing some spring clearing site maintenance and need to temporarily disable the commenting feature. Thanks for your patience. Drag a word to its definition. You have answered 0 of 3 questions correctly and your score is:.

How does a doorbell work? What is an electromagnet? What does a transformer do?

Someone's at the front door! Wonder What's Next? Be careful! Try It Out Ding dong! It's Wonderopolis…and we have a whole set of activities for you to try out with a friend or family member: Do you have a doorbell at your house? If not, find a friend or family member who does. If you can, find several different doorbells that you can test out. Do they all sound the same? How loud are their chimes? Do they all last the same amount of time?
Compare the different doorbells you come across. If possible, make a recording of the various sounds and then play them back for a friend or family member. Which one is their favorite? If you're up for a field trip, ask an adult to head to the hardware store with you to check out their selection of doorbells. Can you find a really cheap model that you could buy and take home to test? Have fun examining all the inner parts of the doorbell. Do you see how all the parts work together to make the sound?
If you can, hook up a power source, so you can watch the doorbell in action. Have fun seeing how doorbells are engineered from the inside out! Up for a challenge? Imagine what life would be like without the doorbell. A simple door knocker might not be enough. With all the televisions, stereos, and video games in homes today, the puny sound of a door knocker would likely get lost in the sounds of the regular household.
Today's mission, should you choose to accept it, is to come up with alternatives to the modern doorbell. What other devices or contraptions might work? Your ideas can be as practical or as crazy as you want.
Let your mind roam. Be creative. Use your imagination. How about a megaphone? You could just leave one on the front porch and whenever someone wants to come in, they can just shout through the megaphone at whoever is inside. Do you see any drawbacks to such a system?
If you want, draw or paint a picture of your alternative doorbell system. Did you get it? Test your knowledge.

Join the Discussion. Leslie Mar 12, Dec 4, We're so glad you stopped by to Wonder with us, alohah! Alexis Nov 13, I am new here and I need help navigating this site.
If anyone wants to help, reply to this message please. Nov 15, Georgia Woon Aug 2, Some word that I do not know they say 'Definition not found' so it is really quite difficult. Aug 5, Vonny don bobby dons brother Jun 8, Jun 9, It's awesome of you to joined us at Wonderopolis, Vonny don! Aidan Sheehan Nov 3, Bobby don Jun 8, Thanks for joining the conversation, Bobby don!
We hope you enjoyed this Wonder! Nov 4, Tyler Jarvis May 17, My Lord! What happened to Wonderopolis? It Changed! Wonderopolis May 17, I wonder why a doorbell seems so complicated and I can't believe it takes 6 to 16 volts just to work!
Can you believe it? Wonderopolis May 16, Maddy May 16, I appreciate that doorbells help in peoples lives. What are wonders related to this one? Zach May 16, It takes volts just to work! A bell ring is a magnetic field that comes from the bell. Justin May 16, Doorbells help us alarm some one that were coming inside their home. Doorbells are very helpful. Chloe May 16, Matthew May 16, I learned a lot about the doorbells that did not know.
I still wonder about the doorbell and more. Macy May 16, Kool-girl Amme May 15, I had no idea how doorbells work, now I do, and it's very interesting. I wonder who invented the doorbell, because I think it's a great invention. It helps a lot of people when someone comes to your house, you may be doing something, then you hear a ring so you know someone's there.
I think a doorbell helps a lot. Alex V. May 15, A doorbell works with circuit that travels over and over. The doorbell echoes through the house and make it louder. Brooke May 15, Cool I did not know that about doorbells. Are electrical doorbells expensive? Who invented doorbells? I predict tomorrow's wonder will be about what do people eat in China like noodles. Mason rocks May 15, I think for even me a doorbell is to complicated to make.
McKenna May 15, They have so many different parts it's crazy. I wonder if you can customize your own doorball tone like a phone? Coiling the wire amplifies this magnetic field, so it has a substantial effect on any magnetic objects around it. Just like the magnetic field around a permanent magnet, the magnetic field of an electromagnet has a polar orientation -- a "north" end and and a "south" end -- and it is attracted to iron objects.
When you hold down a doorbell button, it closes an electrical circuit so that household current flows through the electromagnet or electromagnets by way of a transformer. The transformer is a simple device that takes the volt household current and steps it down to a volt current see Inside a Power-Cube Transformer to find out how.
This current is then passed through the electromagnet wire. The magnetic field of the electromagnet is put to work to drive some sort of a noisemaking apparatus.
There are a number of different ways to configure the doorbell components in order to produce different sorts of noises. In the next couple of sections, we'll look at three common systems: the buzzer , the bell and the chime. Sign up for our Newsletter! Hence, an electromagnet cannot be used for separating plastic bags from a garbage heap. An Electromagnet is just like a magnet, but it is made artificially, and with the help of electricity around a coil, or many other things. And yeah, it attracts iron because it has this magnetism , which iron gets attracted to, just like normal magnets.
The strength of an electromagnet can be increased by increasing the number of loops of wire around the iron core and by increasing the current or voltage.
You can make a temporary magnet by stroking a piece of iron or steel such as a needle along a permanent magnet. An electromagnet consists of a long coil of insulated copper wire wound around an iron rod. When the two ends of the coil are connected to a cell, a current passes through the coil and produces a magnetic effect. This magnetic effect magnetises the iron rod.
So, the iron rod becomes an electromagnet. If you hold a compass near a wire through which current is flowing, the needle on the compass will be deflected. Since compasses work by pointing along magnetic field lines, this means that there must be a magnetic field near the wire through which the current is flowing.
If you disconnect the wire, the magnetic field disappears and the nail is no longer a magnet. Answer: When a current is switched on through a wire, the wire starts behaving as a magnet. Hence, when a compass needle is placed near the given current carrying wire, it gets influenced by the magnetic effect of electric current and gets deflected from its North-South position. Question 6. Q6 When the current is switched on through a wire, a compass needle kept nearby gets deflected from its north-south position.
The needle of a compass is a tiny magnet, which points in the north-south direction. When a magnet is brought close to it, the needle gets deflected. This shows that the magnitude of the magnetic field produced by a given current in the wire is inversely proportional to the distance from the wire.
