Detailed Solution

An electric bell consists of an electromagnet, switch, iron strip, contact screw, hammer and a gong.

When an electric current is passed through the circuit, the wounded iron coil acts as an electromagnet due to the current flowing through it. It attracts the iron strip.
In the process, the hammer at the end of the strip strikes the gong of the bell to produce a sound.

Therefore, we can say that the working of an electric bell is based on the magnetic effect of electric current.
