How Dynamic Microphones Work (Physics only)

  • Sound to Current Conversion: Dynamic microphones convert sound waves into an electrical current that is proportional to the sound signal.
  • Components:
    • A fixed magnet is positioned at the centre.
infoNote

Operation:

  • Sound waves create pressure variations that cause the coil to move back and forth around the magnet.
  • As the coil moves through the magnetic field, a current is induced in the coil due to the generator effect.
  • The induced current, which varies with the sound wave, is then transmitted to a loudspeaker or recording device.
