A temporary magnet made of wire coiled around an iron core
Real World Example
Imagine you're trying to hold a large stack of papers together using only your hands. Just like your hands grip the papers tightly when you apply pressure, an electromagnet holds things together by creating a magnetic field when electricity flows through it. In this analogy, the stack of papers is like the iron core, your hands represent the wire coil, and the pressure you apply is akin to the electric current that creates the magnetic force.
