Best Answer

Electromagnet is a type of magnet formed when current flows through a conductor or coil thus producing a magnetic around it. The magnetic properties are only present as long as the current is flowing through such a wire or coil.

Insulator is any material that offer exceptionally very high resistance to the flow of current.

What is difference between of Electromagnet and Electric Magnetic Field?

An electromagnet is a magnet that only generates magnetic forces when electricity is running through it, basically a magnet that can be turned on and off. An electromagnetic field is the magnetic force generated when an electromagnet is used.
