Hello,
Well, these magnets have many uses and it depends on which field of science you are looking at. But for this question I guess I would have to list a few examples.
A horseshoe magnet gives a uniform field between the poles of the magnet at the ends. Because of this, these magnets can be widely used in experiments to see what happens when a current carrying wire is placed in a magnetic field and moved around. A simple horseshoe magnet isn't practically useful in like generating electricity, but its strenght can be amplified by joining two magnets to form a radial field. The same effect, i.e creating a uniform field can be brought about by using two flat and wide magnets parallel.
In other words, one usage of it would be to demonstrate a simple electric motor.
Hope I Helped
What else can I help you with?
Is a horseshoe electromagnet bar magnet or a magnet pole a example of a temporary magnet?
A horseshoe electromagnet is an example of a temporary magnet because it only exhibits magnetic properties when an electric current is passed through it. When the current is turned off, the magnetism disappears.
What is the function of the switch in the electromagnet crane?
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.
How does an electromagnet work and what is its function?
An electromagnet works by using electricity to create a magnetic field around a core material, such as iron. When the electricity flows through the wire wrapped around the core, it generates a magnetic field. The function of an electromagnet is to attract or repel objects that are magnetic or to convert electrical energy into mechanical energy, such as in electric motors or generators.
Who built the first electromagnet and when?
The first electromagnet was built by William Sturgeon in 1825. Sturgeon discovered that wrapping an insulated wire around a horseshoe-shaped iron core and passing an electric current through the wire created a magnetic field. This invention laid the foundation for the development of various electromagnetic devices and technologies.
In an electromagnet what are the springy pieces of metal or carbon that make contact with the commutator's contacts?
The springy pieces of metal or carbon that make contact with the commutator's contacts in an electromagnet are known as brushes. Brushes are responsible for delivering electrical current to the commutator, allowing the electromagnet to function as intended.

How is electromagnet different from a regular bar or horseshoe magnet?
It requires a current through a coil of wires.

Who invented the first electromagnet motor?
British scientist William Sturgeon invented the electromagnet in 1824.[7][8] His first electromagnet was a horseshoe-shaped piece of iron that was wrapped with about 18 turns of bare copper wire

How does an electrically motor work?
An electromagnet is the basis of an electric motor. You can understand how things work in the motor by imagining the following scenario. Say that you created a simple electromagnet by wrapping 100 loops of wire around a nail and connecting it to a battery. The nail would become a magnet and have a north and south pole while the battery is connected.Now say that you take your nail electromagnet, run an axle through the middle of it and suspend it in the middle of a horseshoe magnet as shown in the figure below. If you were to attach a battery to the electromagnet so that the north end of the nail appeared as shown, the basic law of magnetism tells you what would happen: The north end of the electromagnet would be repelled from the north end of the horseshoe magnet and attracted to the south end of the horseshoe magnet. The south end of the electromagnet would be repelled in a similar way. The nail would move about half a turn and then stop in the position shown.You can see that this half-turn of motion is simply due to the way magnets naturally attract and repel one another. The key to an electric motor is to then go one step further so that, at the moment that this half-turn of motion completes, the field of the electromagnet flips. The flip causes the electromagnet to completeanother half-turn of motion. You flip the magnetic field just by changing the direction of the electrons flowing in the wire (you do that by flipping the battery over). If the field of the electromagnet were flipped at precisely the right moment at the end of each half-turn of motion, the electric motor would spin freely.
