What is an electromagnet?
Click to flip
An electromagnet is a type of magnet in which the magnetic field is produced by an electric current, and can be switched on and off.
Click to flip
How are electromagnets used in electric motors?
Click to flip
Electromagnets in electric motors are used to convert electrical energy into mechanical motion through interactions between magnetic fields and current-carrying conductors.

What is the use of electromagnetism in MRI machines?
Click to flip
In MRI machines, electromagnetism is used to create strong magnetic fields that align hydrogen nuclei in the body, which can be detected and used to form images.

How do induction cooktops use electromagnetism?
Click to flip
Induction cooktops use electromagnetic fields to generate heat directly in metal cookware, making them efficient and safe.
Click to flip
What is wireless power transfer?
Click to flip
Wireless power transfer uses electromagnetism to transmit power over a distance without electrical cables, by using resonant inductive coupling.
Click to flip
How do speakers use electromagnetism to produce sound?
Click to flip
Speakers use electromagnetism by converting electrical energy into mechanical energy, making a diaphragm move to create sound waves.
Click to flip
What is electromagnetic shielding?
Click to flip
Electromagnetic shielding is the practice of blocking electromagnetic fields with barriers made of conductive or magnetic materials.
Click to flip
What role does electromagnetism play in telecommunications?
Click to flip
Electromagnetism allows the transmission of signals over telephone lines, radio waves, and fiber optics, enabling telecommunications.
Click to flip
How is electromagnetism used in generators?
Click to flip
In generators, electromagnetism is used to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy through electromagnetic induction.
Click to flip
What is an electromagnetic relay?
Click to flip
An electromagnetic relay is a switch activated by an electromagnet used to control circuits by changing from a normally closed to a normally open position or vice versa.
Click to flip
What is the electromagnetic spectrum?
Click to flip
The electromagnetic spectrum is the range of all types of electromagnetic radiation, including radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays.
Click to flip
How do photocopiers use electromagnetism?
Click to flip
Photocopiers use static electricity (a form of electromagnetism) to attract toner, which is then fused onto paper to create copies.
Click to flip
How are radio waves related to electromagnetism?
Click to flip
Radio waves are a type of electromagnetic radiation used to send data through the air as they are carried by electromagnetic fields.
Click to flip
How do electric bells work with electromagnetism?
Click to flip
Electric bells use electromagnetism; when current flows through a coil, it creates a magnetic field that attracts a metal arm, striking the bell.
Click to flip
What is magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)?
Click to flip
MRI is a medical imaging technique using powerful magnets and radio waves to generate detailed images of the body.
