No, they are attracted to: Other permanent magnets Solenoids Iron Wires with current running through them
Electromagnets have an electric current running through them that enables there conductive power to be strengthened. However, a magnets full conductive power can never be "turned off/on".
The solenoid will create a magnetic field inside the solenoid, running parallel to the length of the solenoid. This will happen with or without any metal core, when the current is running. If there is an iron metal core the solenoid's magnetic field will rotate the atoms in the iron in such a way as to reinforce the solenoid's field. The iron atoms are themselves tiny magnets oriented randomly. When alligned, the tiny magnets add to the original solenoid field to give a much stronger magnet.

Nothing is produced just by putting electric current through a soft iron core. It needs wire to be be wound around it in a certain fashion, then it may produce direct current.

Electromagnets.
temporary magnets Incorrect, it's electromagnetic.
the answer is false Permanent magnets will hold their magnetism for a long period of time. Electromagnets will only remain magnetic as long as current is flowing through them.
False permanent magnets can but electromagnets need a running current A+
Yes, you can. You may recall that by running electricity through a coiled wire (solenoid) with an iron bar in the center, we can create an electromagnet. If we reverse this process and put a strong magnet through a solenoid, we can generate electricity. All you will have to do is move the magnet up and down in order to generate electricity.
AC (alternating current) is produced in the the alternator. It is converted to DC (direct current) in the alternator by a configuration of diodes called a bridge rectifier. The remainder of the electrical system is DC.
The magnetic field in an electromagnet is actually produced by the coil of wires with a current running through it. However certain materials, termed 'ferromagnetic' materials concentrate the magnetic flux when a rod of the material is placed within the coil (termed the 'magnetic core'). The most common of materials used for this have been iron based.
A magnet is by definition magnetic. What was a magnet may now be simply a piece of steel or iron, since losing its magnetism makes it not a magnet anymore. An electromagnet is only magnetic when it has current running through it, and is not magnetic when turned off.
