A rotary switch.
The electromagnet in an electric motor is typically called the rotor or the armature. It is the part of the motor that rotates when an electric current is passed through it, generating mechanical energy.
A doorbell containing an electromagnet is called a "make and break" circuit because the circuit is completed ("made") when the switch is pressed, allowing current to flow through the electromagnet and create a magnetic field that attracts the doorbell mechanism. When the switch is released, the circuit is broken, stopping the flow of current and releasing the doorbell mechanism.
The switch in the electromagnet crane controls the flow of electric current to the electromagnet. It allows the operator to turn the magnet on and off, enabling them to pick up and release loads.
These springy pieces are called brushes. They conduct current between stationary wires and moving parts in the electromagnet, ensuring continuous contact with the commutator's contacts as it rotates.
An electromagnet is used in a burglar alarm to create a magnetic contact switch. When the door or window is closed, the electromagnet keeps the switch closed. If the door or window is opened, the magnetic field is disrupted, causing the switch to open and trigger the alarm.
Commutator
The electromagnet in an electric motor is typically called the rotor or the armature. It is the part of the motor that rotates when an electric current is passed through it, generating mechanical energy.
The part that rotates inside of an electric motor is called the rotor.
dynamo
The switch is turned on to activate the electromagnet, and metal is attracted. Turning off the switch stops the electromagnet from working, and metal is no longer attracted.

dynamo
The device is known as a "motor".
When an electromagnet is turned on, it generates a magnetic field that attracts the metal reed in the reed switch, causing the switch contacts to close. When the electromagnet is turned off, the magnetic field disappears and the contacts open again. This allows the reed switch to act as a sensor or control device in various applications.
