A moving coil is a type of electrical device commonly used in speakers and microphones. It consists of a coil of wire that moves within a magnetic field. When an electrical current passes through the coil, it generates a magnetic force that causes the coil to move, producing sound waves in speakers or converting sound waves into electrical signals in microphones. This technology is based on the principles of electromagnetism, where the interaction between the coil and the magnetic field creates motion. Moving coil systems are known for their efficiency and sound quality, making them popular in audio equipment and various electronic applications.
