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.

Why not all magnets have a magnetic field?
All magnets have a magnetic field. It is that property that defines them.
How does magnetism cause an object to move?
All magnets have a magnetic field If the object that you want to move by using the magnet is with in the magnets magnetic field it will move.
What are the 4 magnetic materials?
the 4 magnetic materials are iron, steel, copper and nickel
What are the types of magnets?
Ferro-magnets, permanent magnets, temporary magnets, and electromagnets. Ferro-magnets are magnets that are magnetic at a higher temperature than room temperature. do not quote me on that. permanent magnets are magnets that are always magnets, they are the kinds you use a lot. Temporary magnets are things that are magnetic in an extrenal magnetic field. Last but not least, electromagnets. Electromagnets are coils of wire around a cobalt, nickel, or iron. When ou run electricity through the wire, the core and wire become magnetic.
What are the 3 things magnetic?
screws, bolts, and magnets
Why not all magnets have a magnetic field?
All magnets have a magnetic field. It is that property that defines them.
Which magnets are magnetic?
Nearly all.
Is a key magnetic?
No keys are not magnetic at all. Keys do not have iron in them and magnets are attracted to iron.
What is it in magnets that causes it to attract metal?
Magnets can retain a permanent magnetic field. All atoms have a magnetic field which are randomly arranged in the object. Magnets and ferrous metals can retain or temporarily align the atomic fields, thus they are magnetic.
How does magnetism cause an object to move?
All magnets have a magnetic field If the object that you want to move by using the magnet is with in the magnets magnetic field it will move.
What are the 4 magnetic materials?
the 4 magnetic materials are iron, steel, copper and nickel
What are the Nature of magnets?
I am not entirely sure what you are after, but you might say that:* It is the nature of magnets to be magnetic. Or:* It is the nature of magnets to be surrounded by a magnetic field.
When is an object magnetic?
All objects are magnetic. Some are ferromagnetic (strongly attracted to magnets), some are paramagnetic (weakly attracted to magnets), and some are diamagnetic (weakly repelled by magnets).
What do permanent magnets contain?
Permanent magnets contain magnetic atoms (almost always iron) whose magnetic poles are all (or mostly) aligned in the same direction.
Do bar magnets have south and north poles?
Yes. All magnets of north and south poles. There is no such thing as a magnetic monopole.
Do bar magnets have a north and South pole?
Yes. All magnets of north and south poles. There is no such thing as a magnetic monopole.
What is an example of a magnetic?
Steel is a magnet material, but not all metals are magnetic, like Aluminum.
