There are five purposes for magnets:

• A compass uses a magnet to display the direction.
• To raise objects, strong magnets are employed.
• Motors and generators both employ magnets.
• Protects a water heater from corrosion. Before reaching the heater, the magnetic calcium particles are drawn to the magnets.
• Medical equipment uses magnets.
