As reported by GeeksforGeeks in the article “Real-Life Applications of Permanent Magnets and Electromagnets,” permanent magnets and electromagnets play an essential role in a wide range of industries, offering reliable, efficient solutions for everything from electric vehicles to industrial material separation.
Permanent magnets—typically made of iron, nickel, cobalt, or alloys like neodymium-iron-boron—retain their magnetic properties without requiring an external power source. These magnets are a key component in modern electric motors, including those found in washing machines, industrial pumps, and electric vehicles. In EVs, they help convert battery-stored energy into mechanical motion with high efficiency, ensuring strong performance with minimal energy loss.
