It requires a current through a coil of wires.

How is electromagnet different from a regular bar or horseshoe magnet?
It requires a current through a coil of wires.
What does an electromagnet do and how does it differ from a regular magnet?
An electromagnet is a type of magnet that uses electricity to create a magnetic field. It can be turned on and off by controlling the flow of electricity. In contrast, a regular magnet is always magnetic and does not require electricity to function.
Is a horseshoe electromagnet bar magnet or a magnet pole a example of a temporary magnet?
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.
What is different about an electromagnet compared to a regular magnet?
An electromagnet is different from a regular magnet because it can be turned on and off by controlling the flow of electricity through it, while a regular magnet is always magnetic.
What must you have for an electromagnet to work that you don't need for a regular magnet?
To make an electromagnet work, you need an electric current flowing through a coil of wire, which is not needed for a regular magnet.
What is an advantage of using an electromagnet rather than a regular magnet?
A regular magnet, "Earth Magnet", can be very strong, the disadvantage of using them is that you cannot turn off the magnet. Electromagnet uses the electricity of a common battery and can be turned on and off, such as for switches in a circuit board.
Is an electromagnet likely to be attracted to a magnet?
An electromagnet is simply a device that will create a magnetic field when electricity is run through it (basically a normal magnet, but you need to plug it in). Depending on the magnetic charges of the electromagnet and the regular magnet, it should either attract or repulse like magnets normally do to one another.
How is an electromagnet different a bar magnet?
a electromagnet is bigger than a bar magnet
What are 5 names of different types of magnets?
I can tell you more.Bar,disc,horseshoe,u-shaped etc.
How does a electromagnet differ from permament magnet?
an electromagnet performs its magnetic property only when it is conducted with currents(either direct current or alternating current) while the permament magnet is the kind of material which show its magnetic property in the common situation.
How does an electromagnet's magnetic field differ from that of a permanent magnet, and does an electromagnet possess both a north and south pole?
An electromagnet's magnetic field can be turned on and off by controlling the electric current flowing through it, while a permanent magnet's field is always present. An electromagnet can have both a north and south pole, depending on the direction of the electric current.
Which is better a permanent magnet or an electromagnet?
electromagnet
