![]() My doorbell buzzes at the same time it ding dongs. It only buzzes as long as the button is being pushed. What is up? Nobody Home? Doorbells do that. You're putting AC current through a coil in the electromagnet that hauls the "clapper" up when you push the button. That coil and everything metallic nearby is vibrating at 60 Hz, or some harmonic of that, because you've got a magnetic field that's cycling at 60 Hz. --Goedjn |
