There are magnets in every electric motor, like in the little overhead fans. Electricity plus magnetism makes motion. There are also magnets in all of the telephones, microphones and speakers. Also, to avoid having to route very thick cables all the way to the cockpit for switching on things that draw a lot of current, like the engine starters, they have magnetic switches called solenoids near the high current equipment that they control, and regular thin wires connect the solenoids to the switches in the cockpit that control them. And like every other electric motor, the engine starters have magnets, too.
