Electromagnet which uses electric current can be turned on and off.
Permanent magnets can be turned off.
Electromagnets use electricity to create a magnetic field, which can be turned on and off. They are typically stronger than permanent magnets. In contrast, permanent magnets, like those made of iron or nickel, are always magnetic without the need for an external power source.
Magnets that are turned on by passing an electric current through them, and turned off by not allowing an electric current through them.
You can turn electromagnets on and off.
The magnetism of an electromagnet is natural (it comes out of the laws of physics), but the magnetism disappears when the electricity is turned off - it is not a permanent magnetism.
An electromagnet makes a great door lock. The steel in the door will stay put until the electromagnet is turned off.

Electromagnets and permanent magnets differ in how they are created and their magnetic properties. Electromagnets are temporary magnets created by passing an electric current through a coil of wire, while permanent magnets are naturally occurring magnets with a fixed magnetic field. Electromagnets can be turned on and off by controlling the electric current, while permanent magnets always have a magnetic field.
Electromagnets are temporary magnets created by passing an electric current through a coil of wire, while permanent magnets are naturally occurring magnets that retain their magnetism without an external power source. Electromagnets can be turned on and off by controlling the electric current, while permanent magnets always have a magnetic field.
Magnets attract magnetic materials like iron, nickel, and cobalt. Electromagnets, on the other hand, can attract or repel any material that responds to a magnetic field, as they can be turned on/off by controlling the electric current flowing through them.
Metals that are attracted by magnets or that can be turned into magnets are as follows: 1-iron 2-cobalt 3-nickel 4-steel (a compound not an element)
