A device that has some current attraction (13)

I believe the answer is:

electromagnet

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'a device' is the definition.
(electromagnet is a kind of device)

'some current attraction' is the wordplay.
'some current' becomes 'electro' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'attraction' becomes 'magnet' (I've seen this in another clue).
'electro'+'magnet'='ELECTROMAGNET'

'that has' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for electromagnet that I've seen before include "Device attracting items when a current is passed through it" , "Powered attractor" , "Device using current to attract iron" , "attractive item" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
