How do doorbells work?

Question

I'm having trouble understanding how doorbells work. Guess that makes me a dingaling?

Answer 1

Favorite Answer

You press the button and an electrical signal travels down the wiring system in a speaker which makes the doorbell sound alerting the homeowner that they have company.

Answer 2

Depends on what types

Answer 3

They need an electric connection to work...

Answer 4

No. Not a dingaling. I'm guessing more of a doorknob.

Electrical circuit. Power source (home electricity) bell and button switch (outside by door). Hit switch and power sounds the bell.

Answer 5

Electricity.
