    Electromagnet
Description:
An electromagnet is a coil of wire wrapped around an iron bar. It behaves like a permanent magnet, except that it can be turned on and off. Here, the size of the magnetic force produced by an electromagnet is measured by the quantity of iron filings it can lift. The strength of an electromagnet depends on the number of turns in the coil and current flowing through the wire. In this image, the electromagnet is switched off.
