उत्तर
Electromagnets are used for various purposes on a day to day basis. For example, electromagnets are used in the large cranes which are used in waste yards. Electromagnets are also widely used in numerous electromechanical and electronic devices. Some of the common uses are given below.
- Uses in Home Appliances: Most of the electric appliances used in the home use electromagnetism as the basic working principle. Some electromagnet uses in the home include the electric fan, electric doorbell, induction cooker, magnetic locks, etc. In an electric fan, the electromagnetic induction keeps the motor rotating on and on making the blade of the fan to rotate. Also in an electric doorbell when the button is pressed, due to the electromagnetic forces the coil gets energized and the bell sounds.
- Uses in Medical Field: The uses of electromagnets are also seen in the medical field. MRI scan which is short for Magnetic Resonance Imaging is a device that uses electromagnets. The device can scan all the tiny details in the human body with the help of electromagnetism.

Uses in Memory Storage Devices and Computer Hardware: The data in ebook gadgets and phones are stored in the electromagnetic format in the form of bytes and bits. The computer hardware is also having a magnetic tape which works on the principle of electromagnetism. Even in the olden days’ electromagnets had a huge role in the data storage of VCP and VCR.
