TAP 411-2: Brush up on magnetism
... Any deflection of the pivoted magnet is detected by a sensor and will set off a bell or a horn inside the cab. This deflection is caused by a pair of magnets embedded in the space between the rails. One is a permanent magnet and the other an electromagnet arranged as in the diagram below. The electr ...

What is magnetism?
... We have seen how electricity can produce a magnetic field, but a magnetic field can also produce electricity! How? What is electromagnetic induction? Moving a loop of wire through a magnetic field produces an electric current. This is electromagnetic induction. A generator is used to convert mechan ...

Superconducting magnet
A superconducting magnet is an electromagnet made from coils of superconducting wire. They must be cooled to cryogenic temperatures during operation. In its superconducting state the wire can conduct much larger electric currents than ordinary wire, creating intense magnetic fields. Superconducting magnets can produce greater magnetic fields than all but the strongest electromagnets and can be cheaper to operate because no energy is dissipated as heat in the windings. They are used in MRI machines in hospitals, and in scientific equipment such as NMR spectrometers, mass spectrometers and particle accelerators.
