I'm looking for a good source of information on electromagnets. Does anyone know a good source?
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
Erm, Wikipedia is usually a good place to start, but I imagine you've already read that. "Electromagnets" is a fairly broad subject- what exactly are you looking for?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnet
 
Just looking for a source of detailed info on them. Perhaps a good book to buy. Wikipedia is nice, but very brief.
 
Head to your local library. I still have no idea what you have in mind.
