Circuit breakers use an electromagnet to detect overcurrent conditions in electrical circuits. When the current exceeds a predetermined threshold, the magnetic field generated by the electromagnet becomes strong enough to move an armature, which mechanically trips the breaker. This action opens the circuit, interrupting the flow of electricity and preventing potential damage or fire. Once the fault is cleared, the circuit breaker can be reset to restore power.
