(1) Control of Magnet Strength

One of the most important features of an electromagnet is the ability to change its magnetic force.

When no electric current flows through the magnet’s wires, it has no magnetic force.

Put a little current in the magnet, and it has a small force.

A large current gives the magnet a bigger force, able to lift or pull heavier objects.

The ability to turn magnetic force on and off has many important uses, ranging from simple household gadgets to giant industrial machines.

Greater Magnet Power

The pulling power of a permanent magnet is limited to the type of metal from which it’s made.

Currently, the strongest permanent magnets are made of a combination of iron and a metal called neodymium.

Although these permanent magnets are strong, the best electromagnets are more than 20 times stronger.
