An electromagnet is simply a device that will create a magnetic field when electricity is run through it (basically a normal magnet, but you need to plug it in). Depending on the magnetic charges of the electromagnet and the regular magnet, it should either attract or repulse like magnets normally do to one another.

Would an electromagnet be attracted to a magnet?

Yes electromagnet would be attracted to a magnet provided direct current flows through the coil ie when the electromagnet is activated. As unlike poles attract each other the magnet is to placed accordingly. Otherwise repulsion would take place.


What does the switch do to the electro magnet?

The switch is turned on to activate the electromagnet, and metal is attracted. Turning off the switch stops the electromagnet from working, and metal is no longer attracted.

What objects can be picked up by an electromagnet?

Objects made of iron, steel, nickel, and cobalt can be picked up by an electromagnet. These materials have magnetic properties that allow them to be attracted to the magnet when it is energized with an electric current. Other non-magnetic materials, such as wood or plastic, will not be attracted to an electromagnet.

How do electromagnets work in a motor?

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.

Why is an electromagnet only suitable for removing iron or steel splinters?

An electromagnet, or any magnet, only attracts certain metals like iron. (Steel is a kind of iron.) If you want to remove, for example, aluminum splinters, you must use another process because aluminum is not attracted to a magnet.
