How can you reverse the poles of an electromagnet?

Solution

In an electromagnet, magnetism is produced by the passage of current through the coil of the electromagnet.
The polarity of the electromagnet depends on the direction of the current flowing through the coil of the electromagnet.
By reversing the direction of the current, we can easily reverse the poles of an electromagnet.
