Best Answer

An electromagnet works by focusing electricity into a metal bar with many windings of conductive wire and making it magnetic. Electricity passing through a wire makes a field. Concentrating that field makes an usable electromagnet. Faraday demonstrated this.

Would magnets work if there was no gravity?

Certainly. Electric motors contain magnets, and NASA uses electric motors on space vehicles.


How is Law of electric charge related to electric motor?

An electric motor is made up of magnets .. some electric induced magnets , some permanent magnets . the electric magnets are arranged so that when the power is turned on they activate in a series of pulsing magnets.. this pulsing causes the magnets in the core and the magnets in the body of the motor to repel and attract as magnets will do .. this repelling and attracting causes the magnets to try and chase each other around .. this action is turning the core of the motor and producing the rotating action expected from an electric motor


Does an electric egg beater contain magnets?

Yes, an electric egg beater will have some kind of magnets in it. These may be permanent magnets, or may be electromagnets, but the motor in the appliance will have to have some kind of magnets in it to operate on electricity.


Why don't we use permanent magnets in electric bell?

permanent magnets are not used in electric bells because they do not make the bells to ring well


What do magnets have to with electricity?

Faraday showed that a wire passing through a magnetic field will produce electricity. This is how a generator works. Many windings of wire on an armature spin in a magnetic field. This makes electricity.
