electric motors are an electomagnet spinning round, changing poles so that it can always repel magnets attached to the sides and therefore spin.

How do you use electricity and magnitism in every day life?

You use electricity every time you use a light-bulb, a computer, an electric stove, a refrigerator, etc. You use magnetism (as well as electricity) every time you use an electric motor, or a loudspeaker. For example, the motor in electric toys, in a refrigerator, or in a hair drier.


Did Isaac Newton discover electricity?

Newton did not invent electricity. The very basics of electric charge had been discovered millennia before Newton's birth. The English physician William Gilbert advanced this somewhat looking at the relationship between 'electricity' and magnetism 43 years before Newton's birth. All this work was fundamentally with "Static Charge" rather than what we now generally know as electricity. Michael Faraday was the first to apply electricity and magnetism to a practical use through the invention of the electric motor, transformer, and other electrical devices we use every day. The first battery was developed by Alessandro Volta in 1800 some 73 years after Newton's death. For lots more info on the discovery of electricity see the Wikipedia link below.

How do people use magnetism?

People use magnetism in various ways, such as in magnetic compasses for navigation, in MRI machines for medical imaging, in electric motors and generators for converting energy, and in data storage devices like hard drives and credit cards. Magnetism is also used in everyday objects like refrigerator magnets and headphones.


How are electricity and magnetism alike?

Maxwell described that electricity and magnetism cannot be separated. If you examine maxwell's equations you can see that a moving electric charge will produce an electric field. You can also see that a magnetic field that changes in time can produce an electric field. Maxwell also predicted that an electric and magnetic field can propagate infinitely together- this is called a wave (otherwise known as light, x-rays, microwaves, etc...).


How much coal was used each day?

The amount of coal used each day can vary widely based on factors such as the size of the power plant, its efficiency, and the electricity demand. On average, a coal-fired power plant might consume thousands of tons of coal per day to generate electricity.
