Magnets are used to make electric motors and generators. Without these electric motors and generators we would not have telephones, lights, electric heat, television, or computers.
Some items that use electromagnets are: Maglev trains, car crushers, scrap metal sorters, telephones, computers, doorbells, tape recorders etc. Magnets are also used in compasses to show attraction and repulsion. Magnetized compasses are used to detect underground metal pipes.
