The magnetism is reversed North to South, at every half wave cycle. The AC is usually derived from the mains supply, so this will be 50Hz in the UK and 60Hz in the USA.

An Iron armature will still be attracted and not have time to let go between cycles.

They produce a typical buzz when operating.
