Suggest a geometry for headphone's speaker system

[mirreb9]

Summary:: Suggest a geometry

Hello! I have difficulties with this question. It is translated from Swedish so if something's weird tell me.

The speakers in headphones often work with the help of magnetism, when a varying voltage is applied across a coil attached to the speaker membrane. The coil is in the field from a permanent magnet, so the current through the coil will create a force on the coil so that it moves. You have access to signal, short coil, rod-shaped permanent magnet and diaphragm. Suggest a geometry that can accomplish this. Motivate your answer.

I have mostly difficulties with the motivation part, i think i have made the right drawing.

(This is not the geometry used commercially. It has a different shape of the permanent magnet for more efficient energy transfer.)

Thanks in advance!

The translation isn't fluent.
Their saying, given an input signal, a short coil of wire, a rod-shaped permanent magnet, and a diaphragm, show how to assemble these parts and describe how it would work.

That said, this is a homework problem - so you need to show us your attempt to solve it before you get any direction from us.

Thank you! I will look at the guidelines.

Welcome to the PF. I have moved your thread to the schoolwork forums for you.

It would help if we could see your drawing. Use the "Attach files" link in the lower left of the Edit window to add a PDF or JPEG file to show us your work so far. Please try to be sure that the image is clear and upright. Thanks.
