The electromagnet is positioned in a constant magnetic field created by a permanent magnet. These two magnets -- the electromagnet and the permanent magnet -- interact with each other as any two magnets do. The positive end of the electromagnet is attracted to the negative pole of the permanent magnetic field, and the negative pole of the electromagnet is repelled by the permanent magnet's negative pole. When the electromagnet's polar orientation switches, so does the direction of repulsion and attraction. In this way, the alternating current constantly reverses the magnetic forces between the voice coil and the permanent magnet. This pushes the coil back and forth rapidly, like a piston.

Are permanent magnets only attracted to other permanent magnets?
No, they are attracted to: Other permanent magnets Solenoids Iron Wires with current running through them
How are permanent magnets bad?
Permanent magnets aren't bad. period. I do not know where you heard that but whatevs..
Where can I find permanent magnets?
Permanent magnets can be purchased from sites such as Magnet Sales and PML India. A permanent magnet is more resistant to factors that would demagnetise it than regular magnets.
What is the difference between a permanent and non permanent magnet?
Permanent magnets are bar magnets or horse shoe magnets which has magnetism at all times. But non permanent also known as temporary magnets are usually electromagnets which would have magnetism only when current flows through the coil that surrounds it.
Why aren't permanent magnets really permanent?
They can be demagnetized. Because nothing can be permanent :-)
Inside a stereo speaker you will find two permanent magnets one on the cone and one near the cone?
False
What types of magnets are harder to magnetize but retain magnetism much longer?
permanent magnets
What is true of permanent magnets?
Permanent magnets contain a current-carrying wire.
Are permanent magnets only attracted to other permanent magnets?
No, they are attracted to: Other permanent magnets Solenoids Iron Wires with current running through them
Are electromagnetic magnets permanent?
No, electromagnets are not permanent.

A permanent magnet can affect?
A permanent magnet can affect magnets and electromagnets.

How are temporary and permanent magnets alike?
Yes Permanent magnets is the term used to describe magnets that are always magnetic, an non permanent magnet would be an electro magnet which is only a magnet when an electric current is put through it.
