Electromagnetism
What is a Loudspeaker?
A loudspeaker is a device
that transfers electrical energy into
sound.

How does a Loudspeaker Work?

The loudspeaker uses a coil which
can
slide backwards and forwards over
the central pole
of a circular permanent magnet. The
coil is
joined by the brown bars to a paper
cone, shown below.

The wire from the amplifier carries an

alternating current
which makes the coil (and the paper
cone) move
backwards and forwards at the same
frequency
as the changing current. The paper
cone then moves
the air backwards and forwards
which creates the sound.
