Electromagnets possess a magnetic field that is a result of electrical current.
When the current stops, the field will disappear also and hence we say that it is not permanent magnet.
Magnetism is usually described as a result of one of three circumstances.
It is a general law of physics that a magnetic field is created any time there is an electrical current. This is the way an electromagnet works.
The so-called permanent magnets have a magnetic field that originates in the magnetic properties of the atoms that comprise the magnet and depends on the type and arrangement of the atoms. One can say the magnetism is a consequence of the material itself.
Lastly, when electric fields are changing, such as in an AC circuit, magnetic fields are created as a consequence of the changing electric fields. This too is one of the basic laws of electromagnetic theory and a law of nature. This is not an effect that is easy to see, even in a laboratory setting, but it has important consequences which would take an explanation that goes outside of the topic of the current question.
A. Compasses typically use a permanent magnet.
Yes, it is a permanent magnet.
No, it's a permanent magnet. It consists of an iron oxide, and iron is a permanent magnet.
PermanentThere is no source of current in a compass, therefore the magnet is a permanent magnet.
When a magnet is attached to a permanent magnet, it can become temporarily magnetized by aligning its magnetic domains with the strong magnetic field of the permanent magnet. This alignment causes the magnet to exhibit magnetic properties for a short period of time.
The magnet in a compass is a permanent magnet. It retains its magnetism without the need for an external electrical current.
Perminant magnet
No, it's a permanent magnet. It consists of an iron oxide, and iron is a permanent magnet.
It is a permanent magnet. Electromagnets(as the name suggests) requires an electric source to become a magnet, when the power source is turned off it will not function as a magnet.

A permanent magnet can affect magnets and electromagnets.
