Why would electromagnet be used in a recycling yard rather than a strong permanent magnet?

Because with an electromagnet, you can turn it off and on - you can pick things up with it then drop them again.

When would you want to use an electromagnet rather than a permanent magnet?
When you need a magnet you can turn on and off an electromagnet is used.
Advantage of using electromagnet in an electric motor rather than a permanent magnet?
convert electrical energy to energy of motion...! the usage of an electromagnet allows us to control the flow of electrons to the electric rotor,thereby allowing us to control the working of the rotor,whereas with a permanent magnet there will be a continuous supply of energy which can be stopped only if the magnet is damaged or heated.
What does electromagnets do?
It is the joining of electricity and magnetic field, it is the study if the interaction between the two.
What is an advantage of using an electromagnet rather than a regular magnet?
A regular magnet, "Earth Magnet", can be very strong, the disadvantage of using them is that you cannot turn off the magnet. Electromagnet uses the electricity of a common battery and can be turned on and off, such as for switches in a circuit board.
What are the benefits of using an electromagnet rather than a bar manet?
An electro-magnet can be switched on & off - a bar magnet is 'permanent' Think of a scrap-yard. If the magnet they use to pick up huge quantities of metal were permanent, they'd have to manually remove every piece. With an electro-magnet, they simply turn the power on to pick up a load, and off when they want to release it. You can make your own electro-magnet with a battery, some wire and a large nail.

Why do some electromagnets repel rather than attract?
SOME Electromagnet like permanent magnets have two poles(north/south). Likewise the rules for SOME Electromagnets are the same as those of a permanent magnet(same poles repel, different poles attract).

Why can't we use a permanent magnet in a scrap yard?
You need to use an electromagnet in a scrap yard so that you can let go of the pieces of scrap that you pick up. A permanent magnet would not allow you to let go.
What is a permanent magnet motor?
A motor with permanent magnets rather than field coilsA:A non-functional contraption often peddled as a free-energy generator.
How are the temporary magnet and the permanent magnet the same?
Both are magnetic.
Would a generator work if the permanent magnet rotate rather than the coil of wire?
I really don't know. :D
What is a Bitter electromagnet?
A Bitter electromagnet is a strong electromagnet constructed from circular conducting metal plates and insulting spheres stacked in a helical configuration, rather than from coils of wire.
Can you make an electromagnet with aluminum wire?
No. You should use a wire with the best electric conductivity (copper or silver) and wrap it around a (soft) iron core. The wire creates the magnetic field, the iron core concentrates it and turns into a magnet when a voltage is applied to the wire. Iron has rather poor conductivity and malleability so is not suited as the coil of an electromagnet.
