Is an electromagnet a temporary or a permanent magnet?

  1. A permanent magnet is a magnet that retains its magnetion. A small permanent magnet can be used to hold notes onto the door of a refrigerator. Neodymium magnets are very powerful permenent magnets used in hard drives of computers.

  2. Sometimes we do not want a magnet to stay magnetised all the time. We want it to lose its magnetism so that it can release the object attracted to it. Such magnets are called temporary magnets.<\/li>\n
  3. An electromagnet is a temporary magnet. It is made by winding a coil of insulated wire round a soft iron core.
    \nWhen a current is passed through the coil, the magnetic field produced by the current magnetises the soft iron core. The soft iron core loses all the magnetism when the current is switched off.<\/li>\n
  4. An electromagnet<\/strong> is a temporary magnet which magnetic field is produced by the flow of electric current in a coil wound round a soft iron core<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \"electromagents\"electromagentsThe electromagnet uses the magnetic effect of an electric current. A wire carrying a current produces a magnetic field in the region around the wire.<\/p>\n
