1. Magnetism
When an electric current flows through a coil of wire, a magnetic field is produced. This relationship between electricity and magnetism is called electromagnetism. The magnetism of an electromagnet can be controlled by switching the electric current on or off. Electromagnets are used in many devices including computers, doorbells, and cranes that pick up heavy loads.
