Best Answer

When the bell is pressed the contact screw comes in contact with the iron strip and the circuit is complete .

The current starts flowing through the coil.

The electromagnet gets magnetised ant the soft iron armature gets attracted towards the electromagnet. The movement of the hammer causes the hammer to hit the gong.

This movement beaks the circuit so that the current stops flowing and switches of the electromagnet.

The spring pulls the armature back to it's original position , the circuit is remade and the process starts over again .This is how the bell rings.
