t7-microphones Flashcards
which effect do loudspeakers use
motor effect
which effect do microphones use
generator effect
3 stages of microphones
1.coil of wire is attached to a diaphragm. the end of the coil sits over a permanent magnet
2.when sound waves hit the diaphragm they cause it to vibrate
3.coil of wire moves in and out through the magnetic field which induces a PD on the ends of the wire
5 stages of loudspeakers
1.a cone has a coil of wire, which has a permanent magnet inside is wrapped around one end, which is connected to AC current supply
2.as current passes through the coil it generates a magnetic field
3.magnetic field from coil interacts with field from permanent magnet
4.fields attract/repel producing a resultant force
5.when current switches direction, direction of the force on the cone reverses which causes the cone to move in and out, generating sound waves
