Best Answer

The most common use of magnets and magnetism in in electric motors and generators.
The basic principle of a motor is that if a wire carrying a current is in a magnet field there will be a force on that wire. That wire will move if it can.
The basic principle of a generator is that if a wire is moving in a magnetic field then a current is induced in that wire.
