ANY flowing current is surrounded by a magnetic field. The coil simply makes the magnetic field stronger.
A magnet created when electric current flows through a coil of wire is called an electromagnet.

This is called an elecro-magnet, and it is only magnetized while current is running through it.

Conductive coil.
Electromagnet is the magnet which is becoming active so long current through the coil flows. If current stops then the magnetism disappears. If a core made up of soft iron is used then magnetism will become more intense but the magnetism exists so long the current flows. Any way electromagnet will behave just like a permanent bar magnet. So electromagnet would set itself along the earth's magnetic meridian.
