The poles of the electromagnet are repelled and attracted to the poles of the field magnet in the motor, causing it to spin a commutator or rotor in the motor. A brush flips the poles to keep the electromagnet spinning and the rotor moving.

Will a fan rotate in vaccum?

The motor of a fan works because of electromagnets, and electromagnets do work in vaccum so the fan will also work in vaccum.But, the fan will not cause any flow of anything because there is nothing to flow.


Why do you need electromagnets?

pick things upAnother AnswerElectromagnets are necessary for an electric motor to work. Electromagnets are used in ink jet printers to release ink, they activate relays and solenoids. Electromagnets are inside automotive fuel injectors. The old CRT televisions wouldn't work without some high powered electromagnets. Computers would be useless without electromagnets that operate disk drives and relays. Electromagnets are an essential part of all transformers.Essentially, modern technology would come to an end without electromagnets.


What motor does not have a commutator?

AC, its all done with coils- or electromagnets.


Why are electromagnets used instead of permanent magnets for a motor?

Electromagnets allow for greater control over the magnetic field strength, so the motor can be more easily controlled. By adjusting the current flowing through the electromagnet, the motor's speed and output power can be varied. This makes electromagnets more versatile in applications where the motor needs to operate under different conditions.


Can electromagnets work in space?

Yes.


What Motors contain electromagnets that transform?

Electric motors contain electromagnets that transform electrical energy into mechanical energy to generate motion. These electromagnets interact with a permanent magnet to create a rotating force that drives the motor.

How did electromagnets used in an electric fan?

Electromagnets are used in the electric motor of a fan. The magnetism created by the electric current in the core of the motor interacts with a fixed magnet, causing the motor to spin and drive the fan blades. This rotation creates airflow, producing the wind or breeze effect.


What are the uses of magnets and electromagnets daily?

How electromagnets are used in real world?

Every electric motor and generator uses an electromagnet.


What objects can't be in contact with electromagnets?

Anything that uses electromagnets to work, such as credit cards, monitors, or hard drives.


How does refrigerator works in electromagnets?

Refrigerators use electromagnets in the form of a compressor motor that circulates refrigerant through coils, converting it from gas to liquid and back to gas to absorb and release heat. The electromagnets are crucial for the motor to function and move the refrigerant, which allows the refrigerator to maintain a cold temperature inside.
