### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Electric Bell**: An electric bell consists of several components, including a power source, an electromagnet, an armature, and a bell. The armature is a crucial part of the mechanism. 2. **Role of the Armature**: The armature is typically made of soft iron, which can easily become magnetized when an electric current passes through the circuit. 3. **Current Flow**: When the electric circuit is closed (switched on), current flows through the electromagnet, creating a magnetic field. This magnetic field attracts the armature towards it. ...
