An electromagnet is a type of magnet in which the magnetic field is produced by the flow of electric current. The magnetic field disappears when the current ceases. Take a look at this Wikipedia page for more information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnet
Mainly in that the electromagnet is NOT permanent. In other words, it can be switched on and off.Another relevant difference is that the electromagnet constantly requires power, at least while it is on.

A lifting magnet is an electromagnet that is meant to hold or move material that comes in contact with the magnet. This is the opposite of a traction magnet.
This is what makes a magnet an electromagnet - the ability to turn it on and off... Anyway, electromagnets can be turned off with either the help of a switch, or just by disconnecting the power supply.
Interesting question. The answer is maybe - it depends on the construction of the electromagnet. the key is the electromagnet must be water proof, and the wiring used to create the magnet must be insulated from water - if this is not done, then current will flow through the water, which will decay the effectiveness of the electromagnet, along with robbing it of strength due to a decrease in current through the magnet.
a electromagnet is bigger than a bar magnet

An electromagnet is a stronger magnet.
a temporary magnet can be created by an electromagnet but it can also be created by any type of strong magnet
An electromagnet can be turned on and off.
An electromagnet.
The comon bar magnet has two poles, and the electromagnet can be turned on and off also the electromagnet uses electricity to create a magnetic field in the first place. so the difference is normal magnet cant be turned on and off but the electromagnet can. does that answer ur question?
No, an electromagnet is not a permanent magnet. It is a magnet that produces a magnetic field when an electric current is passed through it, and the magnetic field disappears when the current is turned off.
An electromagnet is different from a regular magnet because it can be turned on and off by controlling the flow of electricity through it, while a regular magnet is always magnetic.
