Is a electromagnet only charged when electric current passes through?

Basically, yes. However, especially when the electromagnet uses iron, it will most likely have some residual magnetism when the current is switched off. Note: You shouldn't used the word "charged" in this context. That refers to electrical charges, and is not usually used for magnetism.

Can an electric current move through a electromagnet?
yes.
What type of magnet is created when electric current flows through a coil wire?
electromagnet
Which magnet made by an electric current flowing through wires?
Electromagnet.
How is an electric magnet made?
An electromagnet can be made simply. When an electric current flows in a wire it creates a magnetic field around the wire. By winding the wire into a coil we can strengthen the magnetic field. Electromagnets are made from coils like this.
What is an electromgnet?
An electromagnet is a magnet that runs on electricity. Unlike a permanent magnet, the strength of an electromagnet can easily be changed by changing the amount of electric current that flows through it. The poles of an electromagnet can even be reversed by reversing the flow of electricity.
Can an electric current move through a electromagnet?
yes.
How is an electromagnet?
An electromagnet is created by running electric current through a coiled conductive wire.
What type of magnet is created when electric current flows through a coil wire?
electromagnet
Which magnet made by an electric current flowing through wires?
Electromagnet.
Is an electromagnet created when electric current flows through a compass needle?
Yes
Is an electromagnet is created whene electric current flows through a compass needle?
no
What is a magnet created when electric current flows through a coil of wire?
A magnet created when electric current flows through a coil of wire is called an electromagnet.
What is made coiling wire around iron and passing an electric current through it?
Electromagnet.
What magnet is made by electric currents?
All electric currents create magnetic fields. If you wind wire into a coil and pass current through the wire, that is an electromagnet.
When does an electromagnet produce a magnetic field?
A magnetic field is generated whenever a current is passing through a wire.
What controls the strength of a magnet made with electric current?
The strength of a magnet(electromagnet) made by flowing electric current through a conducting coil depends on magnitude of current. . .
What is the continuous flow of electric charges through a material?
Yes, an electric current is the flow of charged particles.
