Choose the words/phrases from the list below that complete the story. Each word or phrase is used only once. electromagnet over and over again vibrate open armature magnetic electric circuit All sounds are produced by vibrating objects. In the buzzer, the moves rapidly back and forth to produce the buzzing sound. What makes it? When the contact is made, there is an electric-circuit interaction between the cell and the coil. (See the diagram in your student book.) This interaction creates an electric current in the coil, and the coil becomes a(n). There is then a(n) interaction between the electromagnet and the armature (made of iron). This interaction pulls the armature toward the coil. When this happens, however, the circuit becomes (contact broken, no electric current), the electromagnet loses its strength, and the armature returns to its original position (contact made ). The circuit is again closed and the process repeats itself, causing the armature to vibrate. 47
