Equine Magnetic Therapy - What makes an Electromagnet

	ØIt is the combination of electricity and metals ending with the creation of a magnetic field.
	ØRequires an external power source.
	Ø The magnet’s field is produced by electricity flowing through a cylindrical coil of wire with a core made of iron or other metal.
	ØThe electrical charges emitting the field lines end at the respective poles, causing an “opaque” material. This causes the center metal and the coils to stay separate from each other.
	ØWith this arrangement, there are two fields present: the initial electric field and the resulting magnetic field.
	ØWhile plugged into a source and turned on, the electric current is in motion , creating the magnetic field. Turned off, no magnetic field is created.
	ØCan be used with Alternating (AC) or Direct (DC) Current flowing electric current.
