electromagnet and bar magnet

Magnets are amazing things! They have the special ability to attract or repel other magnets and are different in that they attach themselves very easily onto some metals, like iron. When we consider the kinds of magnets, there are two type which are bar and electromagnets.

Today we will get to know these magnetic wonders better. Bar magnets are simply long metal bars made from a type of magnetic material, for example iron or steel. All magnets have two different poles - the north pole and south pole, respectively. This means that magnets in simple words the north pole of one attracts to the south pole another and vise versa.

The electromagnets, in comparison with the bar magnets, are made by passing an electric current through a circularly wound coiled wire that surrounds a central core of metal. So this electricity that are passing through the wire generates a magnetic field which can then magnetize other magnets.

Peeling away the layers of electromagnets and bar magnets

Bar magnets and electromagnets operate with very different mechanical principles. Permanent Magnetic Field - also known as a steady or unchanging field Bar magnetscurrentIndex=0 possess an inherent magnetic field that never changes. In contrast, electromagnets have the ability to turn on and off their magnetic fields by controlling electricity. This trait gives electromagnets much more versatility than bar magnets.

Electromagnets can also alter the extent of their magnetic fields by changing its quantity of electricity. This ability to adjust gives electromagnets not just a range of uses, but also adjustable strength relative to the amount of electricity flowing.
