I'm not sure where a bar magnet is used, but an electromagnet is used in junkyards, and in some laboratories.

It will pick up the nails the same way a bar magnet would do!


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.


What is difference between of Electromagnet and Electric Magnetic Field?

An electromagnet is a magnet that only generates magnetic forces when electricity is running through it, basically a magnet that can be turned on and off. An electromagnetic field is the magnetic force generated when an electromagnet is used.


Did Michael Faraday invent the magnet?

No. but he used an electromagnet to make discoveries about electricity.


Is a electro magnet stronger than a normal magnet?

it depends on how strong the electromagnet is. you basically choose how powerful to make an electromagnet when your designing one. one used for picking up cars at a junk yard is gonna be more powerful than one used in a kitchen appliance. and "normal magnet's" is not a good term for all other types of magnets. there are lots of different types of materials that can be magnetized, all of them are stronger or weaker then the others, all of them can also be made to different strengths, and all of them lose strength over time. the usefulness of an electromagnet is that they can be turned on and off depending on whether or not they have electricity running through them. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnet


Can a solar panel be used to power a magnet?

It depends on the amount of sunlight and the amount of electricity the panel can make if the magnet is an electromagnet, but it is possible.


Is there a magnet in an electromagnet?

An electromagnet is a type of magnet in which the magnetic field is produced by the flow of electric current. The magnetic field disappears when the current ceases. Take a look at this Wikipedia page for more information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnet


How does the electromagnet used in separators?

Electromagnets are used to separate ferrous metals (containing iron) and attracted to a magnet, from non-ferrous metals (not containing iron) which are not attracted to a magnet.


What is a lifting magnet?

A lifting magnet is an electromagnet that is meant to hold or move material that comes in contact with the magnet. This is the opposite of a traction magnet.


How are the uses of an electromagnet different from those of a permanent bar magnet?

A bar magnet is made from magnet materials and has a magnetic field at all times. An electromagnetic is not naturally magnet and only has a magnetic field when electricity is passed through it.
