How it's used
Primarily used in scientific or technical contexts, this term describes a device that relies on electrical current to generate magnetism. It is distinct from a permanent magnet because its magnetic properties are temporary and can be toggled on or off. You will mostly encounter this in physics lessons or when discussing mechanical components like relays or industrial cranes.
