An Electromagnet is magnetic..... It can also be switched between positive and negative by the power source being turned around(battery)

How is a electromagnet diffrent then a permanent magnet?
By definition an electromagnet is only working when it has a supply of electricity, a Permanent Magnet is always a magnet
What is the difference between a bar magnet and a electromagnet?
electromagnets carry more energy and are mainly found in motors................
Is electromagnet a permanent magnet?
no
Is a horseshoe electromagnet bar magnet or a magnet pole a example of a temporary magnet?
An electromagnet is temporary because the field disappears when the current is switched off.
How is an electromagnet different from a refrigerator magnet?
A refrigerator magnet is magnetic because it is a "permanent" magnet. An electromagnet is a magnetic field caused by a current flowing through a wire.
What is the difference in a common bar magnet and an electromagnet?
The comon bar magnet has two poles, and the electromagnet can be turned on and off also the electromagnet uses electricity to create a magnetic field in the first place. so the difference is normal magnet cant be turned on and off but the electromagnet can. does that answer ur question?
What is the difference between magnets and electromagnet?
an electromagnet is a magnet which is activated by electricity and it ceases to be a magnet once the electric supply is stopped whereas a magnet is a natural magnet which does not need electricity and continues to be a magnet whether it is supplied by electricity or not.
What does a electromagnet have that a bar magnet does not have?
The bar magnet and the electromagnet act identical. The difference being a electromagnet is a coil of wire that has a power source connect to both ends, this energizes the coil with an electromagnetic field.
Are electromagnets the same thing as magnets?
Yes. (Note: electromagnet and magnet) The only difference is that an electromagnet is when get a hunk of metal and flow electricity through it getting an electrically produced magnetic field and a normal magnet is a rock (magnetite) that comes with this magnetic field. So, yes. They are just made differently.
What is difference between of Electromagnet and Electric Magnetic Field?
An electromagnet is a magnet that only generates magnetic forces when electricity is running through it, basically a magnet that can be turned on and off. An electromagnetic field is the magnetic force generated when an electromagnet is used.
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
Which is better a permanent magnet or an electromagnet?
electromagnet
Which type of magnet is created from an electromagnet?
a temporary magnet can be created by an electromagnet but it can also be created by any type of strong magnet
How is a electromagnet diffrent then a permanent magnet?
By definition an electromagnet is only working when it has a supply of electricity, a Permanent Magnet is always a magnet
What advantages are there in being to turn a electromagnet on and of?
Being able to turn electromagnetic on and off is what separates it from a normal magnet.
What is the difference between a bar magnet and a electromagnet?
