Noun

electromagnet - a temporary magnet made by coiling wire around an iron core; when current flows in the coil the iron becomes a magnet

armature - coil in which voltage is induced by motion through a magnetic field

electric bell - a bell activated by the magnetic effect of an electric current

magnet - (physics) a device that attracts iron and produces a magnetic field

magnetic head - an electromagnet (as on a tape recorder) that converts electrical variations into magnetic variations that can be stored on a surface and later retrieved

electrical relay, relay - electrical device such that current flowing through it in one circuit can switch on and off a current in a second circuit

The FEMS usually includes the electromagnetic mechanism (EMM)--the main contact module and the actuator, which provides the execution of switching operations by contacts (in contactors, the actuator's role is most often performed by a forced unpolarized electromagnet with a rotating spring) and a control device (CD) that performs changes in the windings' control circuit to provide the required values of currents both during operation and in the final state.
