Question

When a doorbell is pushed, it completes an electric circuit that includes an electromagnet. The magnet moves a metal hammer that hits a bell to make the door ring. Why use an electromagnet instead of a bar magnet inside of a doorbell?

A.
The magnetic field of the electromagnet can work without power.

B.
The magnetic field of the electromagnet can be turned on and off.

C.
The strength of the magnetic field produced by a bar magnet varies.

D.
The direction of the magnetic field produced by a bar magnet varies.

The correct answer to the question of why an electromagnet is used instead of a bar magnet inside a doorbell is:

**B. The magnetic field of the electromagnet can be turned on and off.**

This allows the doorbell to only produce sound when the button is pressed, conserving energy when it is not in use. Bar magnets produce a constant magnetic field, and thus do not have the ability to be activated or deactivated in the same manner as electromagnets.
