you get a magnetic maerial (mainly iron nail) and wrap copper wire around it and attach a baterie to the copper wire and there you have it, an electromagnet

Electromagnets are typically made from a coil of wire wrapped around an iron core. When an electric current flows through the wire, it creates a magnetic field in the core. The strength of the magnetic field can be controlled by adjusting the amount of current flowing through the wire.
Powerful electromagnets
Solenoids are made up of electromagnets. These electromagnets consist of a coil of wire that generates a magnetic field when current passes through it. This magnetic field can be used to move a plunger or armature within the solenoid.
All electromagnets are magnetic when they are turned on.
Magnets exist in nature as natural minerals such as magnetite. However, magnets can also be man-made through processes like magnetization of materials or creating electromagnets.
Yes, scrapyards often use electromagnets to lift and move ferrous metal materials. Electromagnets are efficient for separating and sorting metal scraps because they can be easily turned on and off.
