Question
How is the working of an electric bell affected, if alternating current be used instead of direct current?

Solution
If an A.C. source is used in place of a battery, the core of the electromagnet will get magnetized, but the polarity at its ends will change. Since the attraction of the armature does not depend on the polarity of the electromagnet, the bell will still ring on pressing the switch.
