Is the magnet in a compass a permanent magnet or a electromagnet?
It is a permanent magnet. Electromagnets(as the name suggests) requires an electric source to become a magnet, when the power source is turned off it will not function as a magnet.
What is the different electromagnets and permanent magnet?
Electromagnets are non permanent magnets. They got magnetic field because of applied electric field. They lost their magnetic field which was around that, when the applied electric field is stopped. permanent magnets have magnetic property always with it. Permanent magnetic property loses when we heat the material. It cannot be regained once again. But electromagnets are capable of regaining its magnetic properties.
What is a magnet that can be turned on and off called?
Electromagnets have an electric current running through them that enables there conductive power to be strengthened. However, a magnets full conductive power can never be "turned off/on".
Where are the electromagnets in a loudspeaker?
Electromagnets are not used in commercially available loudspeakers due to unlinear sound reproduction, noise induced by the electromagnet current and cost. A permanent magnet with a moving coil in the magnet gap is far superior to an electromagnet considering these three parameters.
Is an electromagnet stronger than a permanent magnet?
Not necessarily. The key difference between a permanent magnet and an electromagnet is the a permanent magnet does not change whereas an electromagnet's magnetic feild can be altered by varying the current through it. This means that electromagnets are more useful because they can be turned on or off, turned up or down or be put in 'reverse'.
A permanent magnet can affect?
A permanent magnet can affect magnets and electromagnets.

Why do some electromagnets repel rather than attract?
SOME Electromagnet like permanent magnets have two poles(north/south). Likewise the rules for SOME Electromagnets are the same as those of a permanent magnet(same poles repel, different poles attract).
What are the simalarities and difforences between an electro magnet and a permanent magnet?
Similar Each produces a magnetic field Each has a north and a south pole Different You can turn an electromagnet on and off. Permanent magnets are always "on". They are made from different materials Electromagnets require power. Permanent magnets don't. You can easily vary the strength of an electromagnet, but not a permanent magnet Some permanent magnets occur naturally and have been around for longer than humans have been. Electromagnets were not invented until the 1800's Electromagnets are capable of producing more intense magnetic fields than permanent magnets The names of some permanent magnets are more fun to say: neodymium-iron-boron Just thought I'd toss in that last one
Does a VCR have a magnet?
A VCR (Video Cassette Recorder) uses electromagnets in the record, playback, and erase heads. An erase head can also have a permanent magnet in it.
Is a refrigerator an example of a permanet magnet or magnetic material?
A refrigerator is not a magnet, however it does contain an electric motor, and within that motor are permanent magnets (as well as electromagnets).
What is a magnet that can be turned on and off called?
Electromagnets have an electric current running through them that enables there conductive power to be strengthened. However, a magnets full conductive power can never be "turned off/on".
What is the ifference between an electromagnet and a permanent magnet?
Electromagnets and permanent magnets both attract or repel other magnets and attract iron and other substances. An electromagnet is a magnet that is only active when it has a current passing through it; permanent magnets are always active.
Where are the electromagnets in a loudspeaker?

What are likely to be affected by a magnet?
Both permanent magnets and electromagnets. -Apex
