  1. Alexander Graham Bell And his Invention of the Telephone By Hannah Jennings

  2. Alexander Bell • Born on March 3rd, 1847 in Scotland • Educated the deaf • 1878 invented the telephone • 1878 founded theBell telephone company

  3. Alexander Bell • Volunteered for the deaf for many years • Earned the Volta Prize for his invention • Established the Alexander Graham Bell Association for the deaf • Died on August 2nd, 1922

  4. The Telephone 4). 2). Four Main Parts: 1). Dialing Mechanism 2). Transmitter 3). Ringer (inside) 4). Receiver 1). 3).

  5. Dialing Mechanism • On the handset, or base of phone • Has set of buttons or keys called a key pad • Older telephones had rotating keypad called rotary dial • The computer recognizes the tone each key produces, and dials it

  6. Dialing Mechanism

  7. Sending Signals • The speaker’s voice travels through an electric current • The current goes from the transmitter to the hook switch • Then from there, it goes to the wall jack • The wall jack sends the signal into the telephone network

  8. Sending Signals To Wall Jack

  9. Transmitter • Modern phones use a foil-electret condenser transmitter (a type of microphone)

  10. Transmitter Backplate Diaphragm • The circular diaphragm is stretched over a hollow back plate

  11. Transmitter Diaphragm • The diaphragm touches the back plate only in some places

  12. Transmitter Electric Field • When the diaphragm vibrates, it condenses the air, and that influences the electric field

  13. Transmitter To Telephone Network • When the electric field changes, it changes the electric current that is sent into the network

  14. Transmitter • Variations in current “copy” the speaker’s voice, and send the current through a wire

  15. Ringer • Signals incoming calls • Early Phones had small bells • Modern phones are replaced with a computer chip that makes a sound

  16. Receiver • Converts electric current into sound through a speaker

  17. Receiver Magnet Wire Coil • When pulses of electric current come through the wire coil, a magnetic force is created, which moves the magnet

  18. Receiver Diaphragm • The magnet vibrates the diaphragm, which creates sound waves to duplicate the speaker’s voice

  19. Receiver Diaphragm Magnet Wire Coil Speaker

  20. Telephone Networks • Signal leaves the house and goes to a telephone box

  21. Telephone Networks • From the box to the telephone pole, and from the pole to the local exchange

  22. Telephone Networks • An exchange is a building that is connected to all the telephone poles in the area. It connects the incoming call with the number that was dialed

  23. Telephone Networks • From the local exchange, to the main exchange, from there to the international exchange • The main and international exchanges serve the same purpose as local, except they are connected to the smaller exchange buildings • It then goes in the backwardsorder to the other telephone

  24. Telephone Networks Telephone Poles Telephone Boxes Local Main

  25. Cell Phones • Mobile devices that transmit and receive radio signals • Communicates through an antenna transmitter • Transmitter serves a single geographic area called a cell

  26. Cell Phones • The cell connects with a regular telephone network • It has the same basic parts of a telephone

  27. Telephones in Remote Areas • Too expensive to run wires to low populated areas • BETRS fills in the “gap” (Basic Exchange Telephone Radio Service) • Each house has a transmitter that sends radio signals to the telephone exchange

  28. BETRS Telephone Exchange Telephone Transmitter Radio Signals

  29. About the Author I am Hannah Jennings. I did the telephone because I like to talk on it. I am 12 years old, and in the 7th grade. I live in Winston- Salem, North Carolina.
