When the button is pressed, current flows around the circuit and the electromagnet at E becomes magnetized. The striker arm is attracted towards it and the striker hits the bell. While this is happening, a gap appears at the contacts. The circuit is now incomplete, the electromagnet loses its magnetism and the striker arm moves back to its original position.
The whole process then begins again. The bell continues to ring as long as the button is pressed.
