EC105

The document discusses the construction and working of a PMMC loudspeaker. It consists of a permanent magnet made of Alnico, a voice coil wound on a bakelite base, and a paper cone diaphragm. The varying magnetic field generated by the voice coil causes the diaphragm to vibrate and produce sound waves.

OBJECTIVES:

After completion of this period, you would able to


understand

• Principle of operation of PMMC loudspeaker.


• Construction of PMMC loud speaker.
• Working of PMMC loud speaker.
• Ratings of PMMC loud speaker.

EC105.89 2
Principle of PMMC Loud Speaker:

• A copper conductor (voice coil) carrying the audio signal


moves in and out of the strong magnetic field produced by
permanent magnet.

• This makes the diaphragm to vibrate and produce pressure


variations in the air resulting in sound waves.

Construction:

• It has a permanent magnet made up of Alnico, consists


of a central pole that acts as south pole and the two
adjacent poles act as north poles as shown in figure.

WORKING

• The flow of electric current through a voice coil causes it


to generate magnetic field produced by permanent
magnet whose polarity varies according to the variations
in the input signal.

• Due to attraction & repulsion of magnetic field the voice


coil vibrates.

• Hence the diaphragm attached to voice coil also vibrates


and causes compression and rarefaction cycles in the
air, resulting into sound waves.

EC105.89 8
Characteristics:

• Sensitivity : 5 to 10%.

• Signal to noise ratio : 30 dB.

• Frequency response : 100Hz to 5KHz.


• Distortion : 5 to 10%.
• Directivity : Omni directional.

• Power handling capacity : Few m Watts to 25W.

EC105.89 9
Applications

• Widely used in radio and TV receivers.

• Used in record players, cassette players and CD players.

• Used in low power audio amplifiers.

SUMMARY
• It works on the principle as that of electric motor i.e. conversion
of electrical energy in to mechanical energy (vibrations).

• It consists of permanent magnet, voice coil, copper wire and


diaphragm made of paper.

• The permanent magnet produces a strong magnetic field. The


flow of electric current through voice coil causes it to generate
magnetic field whose polarity varies according to variations in
the input signal by which the voice coil also vibrates.

• The diaphragm attached to the coil also vibrates and causes


compression and rarefaction cycles in air.
