An electromagnet can be turned on and off.
The electromagnet can be turned on and off depending on whether it's needed or not.
a electromagnet is bigger than a bar magnet
I'm not sure where a bar magnet is used, but an electromagnet is used in junkyards, and in some laboratories.
The bar magnet and the electromagnet act identical. The difference being a electromagnet is a coil of wire that has a power source connect to both ends, this energizes the coil with an electromagnetic field.
It will pick up the nails the same way a bar magnet would do!
bar
The comon bar magnet has two poles, and the electromagnet can be turned on and off also the electromagnet uses electricity to create a magnetic field in the first place. so the difference is normal magnet cant be turned on and off but the electromagnet can. does that answer ur question?
An electromagnet can be turned on and off by controlling the electric current, giving it more versatility in applications. Additionally, the magnetic strength of an electromagnet can be easily adjusted by changing the amount of current flowing through it.
The magnetic domains in a refrigerator magnet are laid down in parallel strips. They are also re-curved back on themselves so that the back side of the magnet has both north and south poles. If you put two refrigerator magnets back-to-back and move them around a little, it won't take long for you to "feel" the strips of magnetism. The common bar magnet have two simple poles at the ends.
Put the South pole of the nail against the bar magnet to see if it attracts or repels.
A bar magnet is a permanent magnet that produces a magnetic field without the need for an external power source. An electromagnet is a temporary magnet that produces a magnetic field when an electric current flows through a coil of wire. The strength of an electromagnet can be controlled by adjusting the amount of current flowing through the coil.
A horseshoe electromagnet is an example of a temporary magnet because it only exhibits magnetic properties when an electric current is passed through it. When the current is turned off, the magnetism disappears.
