In the early days of MRI research, the magnets were resistive (a big coil of wire), or permanent (like a bar magnet, but bent around into a C-shape). However, it's not possible to make a very strong permanent magnet, and resistive magnets are not very efficient (lots of energy is wasted as heat), so almost all modern MRI magnets are superconductors.
The magnet consists of a large coil of superconducting wire (something like niobium titanate). This only superconducts when it is kept close to absolute zero (-273 degrees Celcius), so it is immersed in a bath of liquid helium to keep it cold. Because the magnet windings are superconducting they have no resistance, so the magnet doesn't dissipate energy as heat.
Current clinical magnets are typically 1.5 Tesla. University research magnets are between 3 and 9.4T for human systems, with small animal magnets going up to 16T (it's easier to produce a larger magnetic field over a smaller volume). By way of comparison, the earths magnetic field is about 50uT (microTesla).
An MRI scanner uses several magnets depending on its design to create an even gradient of magnetic field. The magnet creates a magnetic field (BO) which lines up the hydrogen atoms in either a paralel or anti-paralele direction. A radio pulse then knocks the hydrogen atoms out of alignment radio waves act like magnets so we call this (B1). We can measure how long it takes the hydrogen atoms to go back to normal after they have been knocked and that's an MRI scan.
CAT Scan does not use electromagnets, its MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) which uses Electromagnets to produce images of the patient's body.
Inside of electric motors are electromagnets and permanent magnets. In a metal junk yard large electromagnets are used to pick up metal. In MRI's large electromagnets are used for imaging.
Liquid helium is used to cool the superconducting electromagnets.
Electromagnets
no there is no use of electromagnets in iron box
Electro-magnets have been used in hospitals to remove particles of metal (those which are magnetic- because not all common metals are magnetic, e.g. aluminium, copper, brass, gold, silver), which may have lodged in people's eyes after an accident. MRI machines that use electromagnets are used in hospitals
Electromagnets play vital roles in everyday life. They power electric motors in appliances, produce sound in speakers, and enable magnetic door locks for security. Medical imaging devices like MRI machines rely on electromagnets, and maglev trains use them for propulsion. Additionally, electromagnets are utilized in scrapyard cranes for efficient lifting of metallic objects. These applications demonstrate the widespread importance of electromagnets in modern society.
no
Electromagnets are used in many ways. Televisions use electromagnets to direct the electron beam, whereas loudspeakers and earphones use electromagnets to push the diaphragm forwards.

Electromagnets are primarily used to produce electricity Any large scale facility with lots of instruments will definitely have electromagnets in it. Generators in the powerhouse uses big electromagnets to produce AC voltage which is then transported for the commercial or residential use.
