Ask Mario, our electrical expert. Mario answers all your questions
Hl, Mari My name's Bob. How does the burglar alarm on my
window work?
Mario’ answer:
Well, Bob, on your window there's @ small magnet. Nextt it, on
the window frame, there's a metal sich and two terminals. The
terminals are atached to two wires and the wires are connected
toa battery and a buzzer. They make a simple circuit. When the
Window is closed, the switch is next to the magnet. The magnet
pulls the switch towards it. This coses the circuit and electricity
flows through it. The buzzer does not sound.
When the burglar opens the window, he breaks the circuit. The magnet moves away trom the switch and this
allows the spring to pul the switch back. This opens the circuit. The open circuit prevents the curent from
flowing. When this happens, the buzzer makes a sound.
But how does the buzzer sound when there is no circuit?
