Soft iron is used for making the armature of an electric bell because soft iron is magnetised easily on passing the current and completely demagnetised easily on withdrawing the current through the solenoid.

An electric bell contains an electromagnet, consisting of coils of insulated wire wound round iron rods. When an electric current flows through the coils, the rods become magnetic and attract a piece of iron attached to a clapper. The clapper hits the bell and makes it ring.

Striker is moved under influence of electromagnet when circuit is complete.

When the switch of electric bell is pushed,circuit completes and current flows leading an electromagnet to attract armature and ring the bell.

Electric bell works on the mechanism of electromagnets i.e, temporary magnets, and no permanent magnet is used.

In a buzzer, the simplest sort of doorbell, an electromagnet is used to operate a self-interrupting circuit. You can see how this system works in the diagram below. Click and hold the doorbell button to see how the buzzer works. ... This breaks the doorbell circuit, which shuts off the electromagnet.characteristic of a buzzer It has higher frequency of collision of gong and hammer

Electric bell works on the mechanism of electromagnets and for this any type of power either AC or DC can be used.

The bell works on the principle of electromagnetism which says that when an electric current flows through the coil, the rods become magnetic and attract a piece of iron attached to a clapper. And the clapper hits the cap and comes back as the current stops, and hence the bell rings. So the current flows and stops in succession. And in this way the bell rings.
