Introduction The term magnet is defined as, an object made of a ferromagnetic material such as iron, with domains that are aligned one way. Thus, it has poles and a magnetic field around it. Magnets or electromagnets whose effect can be switched on and off are used in many electric machines. When any current flows, it produces a magnetic field. Were it not for the Earth's magnetic field, all life on the planet would be …showed first 75 words of 1049 total…

Hence, an iron bar with a solenoid of N coils will lift a mass of NX grams of panel pins.
