An electromagnet acts as a magnet only while electricity is passing through the coil. Once the electricity is turned off, the electromagnet ceases being a magnet. Electromagnets are much used in scrapyards. Attached to a crane, metal is picked up and deposited into railway wagons, or road haulage vehicles, to be sent for recycling.

Is a horseshoe electromagnet bar magnet or a magnet pole a example of a temporary magnet?
An electromagnet is temporary because the field disappears when the current is switched off.
What is a temporary magnet called?
electromagnet

A magnet made from a steel paperclip is most likely an?
A magnet made from a steel paperclip is most likely a(n) temporary magnet.
Compare an electromagnet and a permanent magnet?
See compare and contrast permanent vs. temporary magnet. Unless, of course, they are truly two different questions.
How is an electromagnet similar to a magnet?
The reason is because an electromagnet is hooked up to an artificial energy force, while a magnet is a charged piece of metal example: a battery hooked up to a piece of iron attracts paperclips but a magnet can be made by stroking a paperclip against a bar magnet to create a temporary magnet somewhat how a compass works
How is an electromagnet different a bar magnet?
a electromagnet is bigger than a bar magnet
