Electromagnets:

  1. Solenoids - Coils of wire that generate a magnetic field when current flows through them. Common types include:
  2. Holding/lifting electromagnets - Used to hold or lift ferromagnetic materials
  3. Resistive electromagnets - Use copper wire coils
  4. Superconducting electromagnets - Use superconducting materials cooled to very low temperatures
  5. Hybrid electromagnets - Combine resistive and superconducting components
