Telephones transmit speech messages via electric signals. There is a loudspeaker and a very small microphonewhich

contains granules of carbon in the handset of a telephone. When you talk into the microphone, the sound waves of your

voice cause a metal diaphragm to vibrate. The vibrationpresses against the carbon granules and changes the very

small amount of current flowing out along the wires to the receiver of another telephone. When the electric current

carrying the signal reaches the receiver handset, the same variations in the current will run through an electromagnet.

This causes the other diaphragm located at the earpiece to vibrate, reproducing the soundof the speaker’s voice.
