Answer:

In electric motors, the magnet is used to generate rotation using electrical current passing through loops of wire. Many of the magnets we are most familiar with are considered permanent magnets. These include common magnets like refrigerator magnets, horseshoe and bar magnets, and rare earth magnets.
