    In electrical circuits, ringing is an oscillation of a voltage or current.Ringing can be undesirable because it causes extra current to flow, thereby wasting energy and causing extra heating of the components; it can cause unwanted electromagnetic radiation to be emitted [citation needed]; it can increase settling time for the desired final state; and it may cause unwanted triggering of ...

In North America, the standard ring cadence is two seconds of ringing followed by four seconds of silence.

  6. Change ringing - Wikipedia

    Change ringing is the art of ringing a set of tuned bells in a tightly controlled manner to produce precise variations in their successive striking sequences, known as "changes". This can be by method ringing in which the ringers commit to memory the rules for generating each change, or by call changes , where the ringers are instructed how to ...

    More selective ringing methods were introduced using various technologies. In the system of divided ringing, the ringing circuit was separated from the talking circuit by adding a ground connection between the central office and the subscriber stations for ringing. On the same subscriber line, one party used the tip side of the line and ground ...
