Abstract
An electronic device includes: a first housing; a second housing movably coupled to the first housing; a third housing movably coupled to the second housing; a flexible display on at least a portion of the first housing, the second housing, and the third housing; at least one sensor; one or more electromagnets; at least one processor operatively coupled to the at least one sensor; and a memory operatively coupled to the at least one processor, wherein the memory stores instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the electronic device to: detect, through the at least one sensor, a state change in at least one of first arrangement of the first housing with respect to the second housing or second arrangement of the third housing with respect to the second housing, and, based on the state change, control magnetism of at least one electromagnet among the one or more electromagnets.
