_{Simulink Model of a Doorbell Using a Solenoid Block}

_Objective

_{Create a Simulink model of a doorbell using a solenoid block to simulate the mechanism where the switch is closed for 2 seconds and then released. Observe the physical movement of the plunger.}

_{Theory of Doorbell Mechanism}

_{A chime doorbell uses a solenoid, an electromagnet with a coiled wire surrounding a metal piston. When the switch is closed, the electromagnet receives power, pulling the piston to hit the bell and produce a sound. Releasing the switch stops the current, and a spring returns the piston to its original position.}

_{Simulink Model to Control a Fan Based on Temperature Using a Thermistor}

_Objective

_{Use a thermistor to sense the temperature of a heater and turn on or off a fan based on the temperature conditions:}

• _{Temperature source: 20°C (0-10 seconds), 27°C (10-30 seconds), 23°C (30-50 seconds)}

_{Theory of Thermistor}

_{A thermistor is a type of resistor whose resistance varies significantly with temperature. It's used to measure temperature changes accurately and robustly.}
