Electromagnets are a different from permanent magnets. Electromagnets are made of coils of wire with electricity passing through them. Moving charges create magnetic fields, so when the coils of wire in an electromagnet have an electric current passing through them, the coils behave like a magnet.




The importance

Electromagnetism is usful/important due to it's numerous technological and scientific applications in our daily life which include, electrical appliances, electric bells, electric generators, electric motors and MRI scanning

Answer:

explain the mechanism how electromagnets work?

Electromagnets are found in doorbells, hard drives, speakers, MagLev trains, anti-shoplifting systems, MRI machines, microphones, home security systems, VCRs, tape decks, motors, and many other everyday objects.

its importance to our life?

Electromagnetism has important scientific and technological applications. It is used in many electrical appliances to generate desired magnetic fields. It is even used in a electric generator to produce magnetic fields for electromagnetic induction to occur.
