If your computer is using a CRT (instead of an LCD or plasma screen), the electromagnet is causing the electron beam to "bend" as it passes across the screen to make the image. If your computer uses a hard-drive, electro-magnets are used to position the read/write head, to spin the disk and to write to the head. An electro magnet is also used to spin the motor of the cooling fan(s). Electro-magnets are part of your automobile's electrical system as well. The starter motor uses electro-magnets as do all electric motors, the ignition coil is little more than specialized electro-magnets, the automatic door actuators are electro-magnets as are the injectors and any relays. Electro-magnets are everywhere, you just need to know where to look.

What is the strength of an electromagnet proportional to?

The strength of an electromagnet is proportional to the number of turns in the coil, the amount of current flowing through the coil, and the magnetic permeability of the core material used in the electromagnet. Increasing any of these factors will increase the strength of the electromagnet.

How can you make an electromagnet rotate?

To make an electromagnet rotate, you can place it in the proximity of a permanent magnet. When a current flows through the electromagnet, it interacts with the magnetic field of the permanent magnet, causing the electromagnet to rotate. This setup can be used in devices like electric motors and generators.


How can the electromagnet be used to raise the barrier?

An electromagnet can be used to raise a barrier by creating a magnetic field when current flows through it. The magnetic field attracts the metal barrier, causing it to rise. By controlling the flow of current to the electromagnet, the barrier can be raised and lowered as needed.
