Electromagnet

The electromagnet is a low-voltage electric apparatus for converting electrical energy to mechanical energy. An electromagnet typically has a magnetic core made of ferromagnetic material, around which an electromagnetic coil is wound, to utilize a magnetic operation of an electric current flowing through the coil so that mechanical force is generated. The coil generally surrounds the core. As a current is passed through the coil, a magnetic field is created in the vicinity, and the core becomes magnetized and attracts any magnetic material. A magnetic field is generated in the electromagnet when electric current flows through the magnet winding. Typically, electrical power is supplied to the electromagnet from a DC generator. Electromagnets may be classified as either DC (direct-current) or AC (alternating current), and the type of core depends on which type of current is provided. Electromagnets are used for various purposes, such as in motors, generators, solenoids, back-up power systems, and transformers.
