Anti-shoplifting Devices Electromagnets Anti-shoplifting Devices Each year, businesses lose billions to shoplifting. To prevent this, most stores have invested in security. Common systems include electronic surveilance, security personel, and alarm systems. One of these systems, called the EM system, uses electromagnets to thwart shoplifters. Electromagnetic (EM) System The EM system, dominant in Europe, uses electromagnetic [...]
Hard Drives Electromagnets Hard Drives Although we may not see them every day, hard drives do immensely important behind-the-scenes work. Hard drives store government files, weather reports, your emails, the pictures on your digital camera, and many other things. In fact, hard drives are the backbone of the Internet: almost everything you see online is [...]
Doorbells Electromagnets Doorbells Although almost every house has a doorbell, we rarely stop and think about how they work. At the basic level, a doorbell consists of an electromagnet that triggers some kind of noise (a buzzer, bell, or chime). When you press the button of a doorbell, you are completing the bell's circuit, activating [...]
Maglev Train Electromagnets Maglev trains (short for magnetic levitation trains) are modern trains that leverage electromagnets. These trains are faster, quieter, smoother, and more efficient than their wheeled counterparts. Maglev trains are common in many Asian and European countries, and are becoming popular in airports as well. Today's fastest Maglev train can speed along at [...]
Speaker Electromagnets - Speakers Even if we don't realize it, speakers are all around us. Our TVs, cellphones, headphones, radios, and computers all use speakers of different types. Although there are many different sizes, shapes, prices, and sounds to speakers, they all use the same underlying system, which relies on electricity and magnetism.

electromagnets - When an electric current flows in a wire, it creates a magnetic field around the wire. This effect can be used to make an electromagnet. A simple electromagnet comprises a length of wire turned into a coil and connected to a battery or power supply.
