Electric current in a coil can induce magnetism in an iron nail,place near the coil.when the electric current is cut off the magnetism in the iron nail disappears.the magnetism in the nail exist so long as there is electric current in the coil.this is an electromagnet.

It depends on the type of magnet, most magnets are "made" they are cut into their shape. Electromagnets are pieces of metal that when a current is run through them develop a magnet charge.


How does a dynamo generate electricity?

A dynamo passes a magnet past a coil. The movement of the magnet past the wire causes eddy currents to develop which cause electrons to align and move through the wire. If there is enough wire and a strong enough magnet, the current (flow of electrons) is enough to become useful and power a device. It is the growing and shrinking lines of force that cause the electrons to develop this alignment and therefore the electric current.
