The video tutorial explains the construction and working of an electric bell. It describes the components, including an iron core, coil, battery, and steel rod. The operation involves the iron core acting as an electromagnet when current flows, attracting a hammer to strike the bell. The circuit breaks when the hammer moves, stopping the electromagnet, and the hammer returns to its original position, completing the circuit again. This process repeats, causing continuous ringing until the switch is released.
