"electro magnets" are magnetic ONLY when electricity travels through a coil of wire surrounding them. "Magnets", as you state it, are permanent magnets and remain so independent of and not dependent upon any additional electrical charge.

What are the differences between electromagnets and permanent magnets, and how do electromagnets differ from permanent magnets?

Electromagnets and permanent magnets differ in how they are created and their magnetic properties. Electromagnets are temporary magnets created by passing an electric current through a coil of wire, while permanent magnets are naturally occurring magnets with a fixed magnetic field. Electromagnets can be turned on and off by controlling the electric current, while permanent magnets always have a magnetic field.


How are electromagnets and permanent magnets alike and different?

Electromagnets and permanent magnets are both capable of producing a magnetic field. The main difference is that electromagnets require an electric current to generate a magnetic field, while permanent magnets retain their magnetic properties without the need for an external electrical source.


What are the differences between electromagnets and permanent magnets, and how do they function differently?

Electromagnets are temporary magnets created by passing an electric current through a coil of wire, while permanent magnets are naturally occurring magnets that retain their magnetism without an external power source. Electromagnets can be turned on and off by controlling the electric current, while permanent magnets always have a magnetic field.


How are magnets and electromagnets the same?

Both magnets and electromagnets produce a magnetic field and attract ferromagnetic materials. The magnetic field is created by the alignment of electrons within the material. The main difference is that magnets have a fixed magnetic field, while electromagnets can turn their magnetic field on and off by controlling the flow of electric current.


How are electromagnets different from magnets?

You can turn electromagnets on and off.

What advantage do electromagnets have over other magnets?

Electromagnets can be turned on and off by controlling the flow of electricity, while permanent magnets have a fixed magnetic field. This makes electromagnets more versatile and suitable for a wider range of applications. Additionally, electromagnets can produce a stronger magnetic field than most permanent magnets.
