What are the benefits of using an electromagnet rather than a bar manet?

An electro-magnet can be switched on & off - a bar magnet is 'permanent' Think of a scrap-yard. If the magnet they use to pick up huge quantities of metal were permanent, they'd have to manually remove every piece. With an electro-magnet, they simply turn the power on to pick up a load, and off when they want to release it. You can make your own electro-magnet with a battery, some wire and a large nail.


How does a loudspeaker use a electromagnet?

IN a loud speaker there are two magnets. one permanent magnet that always has its northpole pointing in the same direction , and one electro magnet that can change its magnetic field in direction and magnitude. IF both northpoles point into the same direciton ,the speaker cone is pushed out, if both point in opposite directions the speaker cone is pulled in. The direction and magnitude can be controlled by the current passing through the electro magnet.


What are the differences between the spring system and the magnet system?

The spring system uses mechanical force to store and release energy, while the magnet system uses magnetic force. The spring system relies on compression and expansion of a spring, while the magnet system relies on attraction and repulsion of magnets.


What does a magnet do in a microwave?

A magnet in a microwave can potentially cause sparks, arcing, or damage to the microwave itself. This is because the microwaves emitted by the oven can cause the magnet to become hot and possibly catch fire. It is not recommended to put magnets inside a microwave.


Why is an electro magnet a temporary magnet?

An electromagnet is a temporary magnet because it only produces a magnetic field when an electric current is running through it. When the current is turned off, the magnetic field collapses, and the electromagnet loses its magnetic properties.

What kind of magnet is a magnet made from a steel paper clip?

If it has been magnetized by another magnet, then it is just a temporary magnet, but if it uses an electric current, then it is an electro-magnet.


Is a magnet energy?

A magnet uses the electro-magnetic force. This force also includes electricity. Very basically, it works by electrons exchanging a proton. So a magnet doesn't use energy.


What does the electro magnet prove about electricity?

An electro magnet proves that Electricity and Magnetism always co-exist in nature


What magnet can be switched on and off?

An electro-magnet can be turned on and off.


How are electro magnet different from permanent magnet?

Electro magnets differs from permanent magnet because it requires electricity. A simple electro magnet consists of an iron rod wrapped in a coil of copper and when electricity flows through the copper, a magnetic field is formed.


What electromagnetic wave does a camera use?

it uses a radio wave as it has a big wave length. it is an electro magnet that needs to be heated to work.


Electro magnet used for?

A electro magnet is used for lifting things by the magnetic force provided by the amount of coils and the size of the battery

What is produced whencoiled wire is spun around a magnet?

An electro magnet!


What is a magnet that is creadted from electric current through a wire?

Electro-Magnet


How are eltromagnets used in generators?

Any time a magnet passes through a coil of copper wire (the electro magnet) it produces electricity. In all reallity, you don't really have an electro magnet in a generator. Since the Coil or(field) is making the electricity instead of using electricity, the electro magnet isn't really a magnet; but more like an "anti-magnet" :)


Why a coiled wire does not short the circuit?

I suspect that it is because a coiled wire becomes an electro-magnet which disipates and uses energy, and is therefore not recognized as a short.
