How electromagnets are used to make electricity is because of the magnetic field that they give off around their core produces a small amount of electricity and if it is big enough it would give off enough power to generate a home. ( but who wants a magnet the size of an elephant in their back yard?!!!?)

Electromagnets are used in the following types of devices:

1. Solenoids (S= solenoid device)

2. Door bells (S)

3. Electric motors - stator magnets, or rotor magnets

4. Electromagnets in scrap metal yards - lifting sorting.

5. Self winding clock mechanisms (S)

6. Voltage Transformers - Primary/secondary windings

7. Automobile door locks (S)

8. CRT style Displays/TV's - Beam aiming yokes

9. Door latches on Glass office doors

What is the only time that electromagnets magnetise?

Electromagnets are only magnetised while the electrical current is switched on.


What are the types of magnets?

Ferro-magnets, permanent magnets, temporary magnets, and electromagnets. Ferro-magnets are magnets that are magnetic at a higher temperature than room temperature. do not quote me on that. permanent magnets are magnets that are always magnets, they are the kinds you use a lot. Temporary magnets are things that are magnetic in an extrenal magnetic field. Last but not least, electromagnets. Electromagnets are coils of wire around a cobalt, nickel, or iron. When ou run electricity through the wire, the core and wire become magnetic.


What vibrates in a loudspeaker?

Loud speaker usually has two electromagnets (or a permanent magnet and an electromagnet). When an audio signal in the form of an electric signal with desired frequency is applied to both electromagnets in opposite direction at same time so that they act as magnets with same polarities facing. This makes them repel with the given frequency, thus producing sound.


What magnets are used for?

Some magnets are used to make electric motors and generators.Some magnets are used for car doors,door hinges,computers,hovers,blenders, CD players,washing machines, fax machines, escalators, elevalators,loud speakers,credit cards,tv,fridge doors,toys,jewelry, and elecric toothbrushes, magnets are used in junk yards to make new cars too,magnets are used in roller coasters.These are called electro magnets and you can turn them on and off.and they are also used in the new unistation 360 witch is awesome.
