The most common bass guitar is the four string bass. It is possible to use just one string during a bass solo, as a skilled player can create a variety of notes and effects with just the one string.

yes and a bass, its all in what tuning you use
The short answer is no, but the two have some important connections. First, the bass guitar is pitched a full octave below the cello. The bass guitar is in the same pitch range as what is called the double bass, bass, or upright bass. Second, the standard tuning of the bass guitar is in fourths (Do to Fa) starting at E, while the standard tuning of the cello is in fifths (Do to So) starting at C. The lowest note on the Bass Guitar with standard tuning is The lowest note on Cello is the C at around 64 Hz , also called C below C below middle C. It's just off the bottom of the bass clef. Using standard tuning of a 4 string base, the bottom note is the same as that of a double bass. It's the E at about 41 Hz. But a 5 string bass has a now B at about 30 hz. Many bass players tune the bottom note lower to provide a deeper sound. Some tune the guitar exactly like cello, but sounding an octive lower.
A five-string bass is used to expand the range of notes which can be played on it. Either you add a string that has higher notes, or a string that has lower notes, as compared to a four-string bass.
Electromagnets are not used on bass guitars, but guitar and bass guitar pickups use magnets in order to turn the string's vibration into an electrical signal to send to amplifier.
There are 4 instruments in the string family. 1. Violin - The violin (also known as the fiddle) is the smallest in the string family, and my personal favorite. It is the smallest, and most high pitched instrument in the string family. The violin comes in many sizes and is fairly easy to play. There are 4 strings on a violin. The lowest string is the G string. The second to lowest string is the D string. Then comes the A string. And lastly the E string. The oldest violin was created in 1555 by Andrea Amati. There are 12 main parts to the violin. The violin's notes are treble clef. 2. Viola - The viola is the second smallest instrument in the string family and a little bit lower pitched. The viola looks very similar to the violin. This instrument use the alto clef. There are also 4 strings on the viola. From lowest pitched to highest pitched they are: G, D, A, and C. 3. Cello - The cello is the second largest instrument in the string family and has the second lowest pitch. The cello is much, much larger in size then the violin and viola. Unlike the violin and viola, the cello is not held up and resting on your chin, but rather you set it on the floor to play. They also play in Alto clef. 4. Bass - The Bass (pronounced Bay-ce) is the largest and lowest pitched instrument in the family. This instrument is also played on the floor and the notes are in bass clef.
Using pick is not a matter of number of strings, it is rather a matter of personal preference or style of music you are playing. With a 4-string bass, you can use both pick and fingers.

Thought I've never tried this, I highly doubt using bass strings on a guitar would work. First of all, the bass string likely wouldn't fit inside a guitar's tuning peg. Also, the action on a guitar simply wouldn't work with a bass string. As far as pickups go, I'm not sure what bass frequencies would do to a guitar pickup, but i wouldn't try.
