An electo-magnet has an iron core wrapped round with wire coils. When electricity is passed through the coils, the iron core become magnetised, until the electricity is switched off.

What type of magnet is temporary?
Electromagnet. Magnetic only when current is flowing in the coil.
Is a knife magnetic?
knife shows magnetic property when it remains physically contact with magnet for sometime.this type is known as temporary magnet
Can magnets be temporary?
Electromagnets are temporary magnets made of iron usually that are created by passing a current through a wire wrapped around the iron. There are also ways of making temporary magnets out of ordinary iron objects that can later be demagnetized. I am not wise in the ways of these latter type of temporary magnets.
What type of magnet keeps its magnitism for a long time?
a permanent magnet does that.
Will a magnet affect a credit card?
yes but it depends on the type of magnet and how strong it is
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
What type of magnet attracts to iron but not for a long time?
Bar magnet. Because a bar magnet is strong to iron..... Or that's what we did in class.....
What type of magnet is temporary?
Electromagnet. Magnetic only when current is flowing in the coil.
Is a knife magnetic?
knife shows magnetic property when it remains physically contact with magnet for sometime.this type is known as temporary magnet
What type of rock can pick up paperclips?
it would have to be a rock containing the mineral Iron. which would then have to be magnetized to create a temporary magnet, or a permanent magnet if prepared properly
What type of magnet are produced by running electric through a soft iron core?
temporary magnets Incorrect, it's electromagnetic.
How long do cheap magnets last compared to more expensive ones?
A permanent magnet will retain its magnetism unless it is affected by a strong outside magnetic or electrical force, or elevated temperatures. If they are not exposed to any of these conditions, permanent magnets will lose magnetism on their own, however this degradation is very slow, on the order of one percentage point every ten years or so.
Which method is appropriate for separating a mixture of iron and aluminum?
You could do this using a magnet, Iron filings are attracted to a magnet, aluminium filings are not.Hint: magnetism, investigate the relative magnetic properties of the metals.Iron is a ferrous material, and aluminum is non-ferrous. A magnet would separate the two materials as the iron would be attracted to the magnet while the aluminum filings would not. The term ferrous basically refers to any material which contains iron.
Type of magnet?
There are two main types of magnet - Permanent and electromagnet. Electromagnets are usually in the form of a coil wound around an iron core. When current passes through the coil the core becomes magnetic. A permanent magnet is made of a material that naturally exhibits magnetic properties.
What type of material does a Cooper work with?
Coopers worked with wood and iron making barrels.

A dumbbell shaped magnet is called which type of magnet?
