An electromagnet is a device in which magnetism is produced by an electric current. British electrician, William Sturgeon invented the electromagnet in 1825. The first electromagnet was a horseshoe-shaped piece of iron that was wrapped with a loosely wound coil of several turns. When a current was passed through the coil; the electromagnet became magnetized and when the current was stopped the coil was de-magnetized. Sturgeon displayed its power by lifting nine pounds with a seven-ounce piece of iron wrapped with wires through which the current of a single cell battery was sent. Sturgeon could regulate his electromagnet; this was the beginning of using electrical energy for making useful and controllable machines and laid the foundations for large-scale electronic communications. Five year later an inventor called Joseph Henry - made a far more powerful version of the electromagnet. American, Joseph Henry (1797-1878), demonstrated the potential of Sturgeon's device for long distance communication by sending an electronic current over one mile of wire to activate an electromagnet which caused a bell to strike. Thus the electric telegraph was born.
The doorbell was said to be one of Thomas Edison's inventions. It was invented in 1831
Michael Faraday wasn't the discoverer of electromagnetism.
James Clerk Maxwell is often referred to as the Isaac Newton of electromagnetism for his groundbreaking work in formulating the equations that describe the behavior of electric and magnetic fields. His contributions laid the foundation for modern classical electromagnetism theory.
They can turn on and off and their power can be changed.
The first electric doorbell was invented by Joseph Henry in 1831. Henry was an American scientist who made significant contributions to the field of electromagnetism. His design used an electromagnet to move a metal hammer against a bell to create the ringing sound.

The solenoid was invented by French physicist André-Marie Ampère in the early 19th century. He studied the relationship between electricity and magnetism and is well known for his contributions to electromagnetism.
The father of electromagnetism is Michael Faraday. He made significant contributions to the understanding of electromagnetism and electromagnetic induction in the 19th century, laying the foundation for modern electromagnetism theory and practice.
electromagnetism is the force an electromagnet is the object
No-one invented current. Discovery and description is usually associated with Andre-Marie Ampere in his studies into electromagnetism, although it is likely that it was known but (officially) unnamed before this.

The antenna was invented by Heinrich Hertz in 1888. Hertz was a physicist from Germany. Hertz pioneered research into electromagnetism and was considered to be the leading authority on this subject
