Electromagnets work when copper coil is wrapped around a nail and connected to a cell and turned on, the electrons travelling through the wire create a magnetic field allowing you to pick things like nails up.

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.

Are electricity and magnetism the same thing?

Electricity and magnetism are similar but yet different. They are both able to make a form of each other. If electricity charges are pulled at a great force they will be able to create a type of magnetic force. Magnets are able to produce forms of electricity when their pulls are changed.
