Working Principles of the Buzzer Circuit
When a power source is connected to the buzzer circuit, current flows through the transistor, which acts as a switch. When the transistor is in the “on” state, current flows through the buzzer, causing it to vibrate and produce sound. By controlling the switching of the transistor, you can control the sound output of the buzzer.
Applications of the Buzzer Circuit
The buzzer circuit has numerous applications, such as:
Alarm systems
Producing audible signals to indicate potential dangers or emergencies.
Timers
Signaling the completion of a predefined time interval.
Interactive Projects
Creating sound effects or feedback in games, puzzles, or interactive displays.
