When current flows in a conductor there is a magnetic field formed around the conductor. This magnetic field can be used to make an electric magnet (like the ones used at junkyards), motors also use magnetism to operate, and many switches (solenoid, motor starters, and relay switches) use magnetism to open or close.

What is the difference between magnetism and electricity?

The difference between electricity and magnetism is that you must be in the same frame of reference as the electric field to experience electricity, because all that magnetism is, is electricity moving relative to you.Although they are two different forms of energy, you can use magnetism to create electricity and you can use magnetism to create electricity.Electricity is the flow of energy or current through a metallic substance. Magnetism is the attraction of the metallic molecules in a solid or substance.
