INVENTIONS

1.Electromagnet:-

An electromagnet is a type of magnet in which the magnetic field is produced by an electric current. Electromagnets usually consist of wire wound into a coil. A current through the wire creates a magnetic field which is concentrated in the hole in the center of the coil.

2.Electric motor:-

The electric motor contains an electromagnet that is connected to a rod. When current flows through the motor, the electromagnet rotates, causing the rod to rotate as well. The rotating rod moves other parts of the device. For example, in an electric fan, the rotating rod turns the blades of the fan.
