How does a magnet with an on-off switch work?

A magnet with an on-off switch works by controlling the flow of electricity to the magnet. When the switch is turned on, electricity flows through the magnet, creating a magnetic field. This magnetic field attracts or repels other magnetic objects. When the switch is turned off, the flow of electricity stops, and the magnetic field disappears, causing the magnet to no longer attract or repel objects.
