  • When the switch is pressed, a current flows through the solenoids and the electromagnets attract a soft-iron plate.
  • The striker hits the gong and a sound is produced.
  • The movement of the soft-iron plate breaks the contact and the circuit is cut off.
  • The electromagnet loses its magnetism and the striker springs back to original position.
