How does the electromagnet work?

In layman's terms; a magnet has a natural magnetic field around it. This field interacts with iron based materials, like steel (but not stainless steel, or aluminum) and when a piece of steel is adjacent to the magnet's attractive pole, they stick together. When current (electricity) flows through a conductor (piece of wire) a magnetic field is produced, similar to a regular magnet. If a piece of wire (with current flowing through) is wrapped around a magnet, the Electromagnetic field that occurs around the wire joins and strengthens the magnetic field of the magnet, thus strengthening the overall magnetism. So when you see a crane picking up and dropping junk cars, they are simply turning on & off the flow of electricity through the coils of wire wrapped around the magnet doing the work.
