Electromagnets
Some magnets work all the time, but electromagnets produce magnetism only when they are supplied with an electric current. This is useful, because it means that they can be switched off when not needed. Electromagnets operate doorbells, microphones and loudspeakers, and they are inside telephones, computer disc drives and televisions. They are also used for lifting heavy metal objects-like wrecked cars.
