Some everyday devices that have electromagnets inside them include: Microphones, speakers, headphones, telephones and loudspeakers. Electric motors and generators. Doorbells and electric buzzers.

Where are electromagnets used in real life?

In the home, by far the most common use of electromagnets is in electric motors. Think of all of those bits of electrical equipment with some kind of electric motor: vacuum cleaners, refrigerators, washing machines, tumble driers, food blenders, fan ovens, microwaves, dish-washers, hair driers.

Where do electromagnets come from?

By the definition we discussed earlier, an electromagnet is created when electrical currents flow around some ferromagnetic core. The Earth's core is iron, and we know it has a north pole and a south pole. These aren't just geographical designations but actual opposing magnetic poles.
