Think about how electromagnets are used and what you have seen or heard of them being used for. In your initial discussion post, respond to the following:

• Which of the principles or laws discussed in this module explain how an electromagnet works?
• Describe in detail two modern applications of electromagnets. Do these electromagnets draw a large amount of current or a little? How do you know? What supplies that current?
• Why do you think electromagnets are used in these different ways?
• What is the advantage of using an electromagnet rather than a permanent magnet?
