Because they can then lift the steel easily without having to put chains and lifting gear onto it.
Electromagnets are stronger and weigh far less than permanent magnets.
Electromagnets' magnetism can be manipulated. Electromagnets can be magnetised and demagnetised by passing electric current. Therefore they are used in motors- which works when the coil is magnetised by passing an electric current. It is also used for cranes.
Not necessarily. The key difference between a permanent magnet and an electromagnet is the a permanent magnet does not change whereas an electromagnet's magnetic feild can be altered by varying the current through it. This means that electromagnets are more useful because they can be turned on or off, turned up or down or be put in 'reverse'.
A solenoid is a coiled wire with an electric current running through it, causing a magnetic field. An electromagnet is almost the same thing except it is much stronger than a solenoid (usually) and, unlike a solenoid, has a soft, iron core.

My only guess is that ,,, because electromagnets are more stronger and powerful than the ordinary magnets. Moreover they provide continuous magnetic field required for the generator. the generator in your car will have an electromagnet in the field the field will set the charge rate new cars have an alternator the field is the electromagnet in the rotor older cars have a true generator where the field is in the stator

The strength of an electromagnet depends on the current through the coil andthe number of turns in the coil. The voltage across the coil doesn't matter at all.So IF both of your electromagnets have the same number of turns in their coils,then the one with 20A of current is stronger than the one with 5A of current.If they have different numbers of turns in their coils, then we need more informationbefore we can decide which one is stronger.

No, electromagnets are stronger than bar magnets.
There are many reasons why electromagnets shouldn't be used. For example, permanent magnets are better to use economically because there is no cost of operation, like an electromagnet. There is also no maintenance or hardly any setup required. For permanent magnets, they can be used for a lot longer than electromagnets becausecan be used in hazardous places and are they are unaffected by shock or vibrations. Electromagnets require electricity to run, which costs money. They also burnout or lose its magnetism after a while. There are also many reasons why electromagnets should be used. For an electromagnet, a person could easily control the power of the magnetism, unlike the permanent magnet which has the same intensity throughout. A person could also turn the power of the magnet on and off, which can become useful in certain situations. An electromagnet can also be made stronger than permanent magnets. The electromagnet also has a good field of depth, unlike the permanent magnets limited field depth.

Electromagnets consist of wire coiled around a core. The core can be anything from air to a nail or even a pencil. Since electrons flow freely through a conductive core (like a nail), an electromagnet made with a metal core will have a larger magnetic field (and thus be stronger) than an electromagnet with a wooden core. The strength of an electromagnet is related to the number of times the wire is coiled around the core and the distance the wire covers across the core. The more coils wrapped closer together, the stronger an electromagnet will be. The amount of voltage running through the wire also plays a role in an electromagnet's strength. More voltage means more electrons moving through the wire and thus a stronger magnet.
Yes, because electromagnets can lose their magnetism.
