Description
Electromagnets are devices
that generate a magnetic field when an electric current flows through them.
Unlike permanent magnets, they can be switched on and off by controlling the
current. They typically consist of a coil of wire wound around a ferromagnetic
core, which enhances the magnetic field. These powerful magnets are widely used
in industrial and automation applications due to their ability to provide
controlled and adjustable magnetic force.
