An electromagnet (a coil around a soft iron core) will only be magnetic when current changes in the coil and so is not permanent.

A permanent magnet, like a refrigerator magnet, is an example of a non-electromagnet. It produces a magnetic field without the need for an electric current.


What is the difference between a permanent and non permanent magnet?

Permanent magnets are bar magnets or horse shoe magnets which has magnetism at all times. But non permanent also known as temporary magnets are usually electromagnets which would have magnetism only when current flows through the coil that surrounds it.

How can a magnet be temporarily magnetized when attached to a permanent magnet?

When a magnet is attached to a permanent magnet, it can become temporarily magnetized by aligning its magnetic domains with the strong magnetic field of the permanent magnet. This alignment causes the magnet to exhibit magnetic properties for a short period of time.


Is a permanent magnet called a hard magnet or a electromagnet?

Is the magnet in a compass a permanent magnet or a electromagnet?

It is a permanent magnet. Electromagnets(as the name suggests) requires an electric source to become a magnet, when the power source is turned off it will not function as a magnet.
