Magnets first occurred naturally, so "before Man" would be your answer.

Which is a permanent magnet?

A magnet which doesn't lose it's magnetic effect when it's away from another magnet .Steel magnets are usually permanent magnets , while those made of iron lose their magnetism , as soon as the original magnet is held away . I simply mean that :-For example , when you use a magnet to attract a paperclip ( or a nail ) made of iron , and you attach a second paperclip to the first one , while still holding the first one to the magnet , the 2nd will still be held to the 1st .As soon as you remove the magnet , the magnetism between the 1st and the 2nd clips will be broken down , and they will fall down .But if you use nails ( or paperclips ) made of steel , the magnetism between the 1st and the 2nd nail will still be there , even if the original magnet is held away from the 1st .


What kind of magnet is a magnet made from a steel paper clip?

If it has been magnetized by another magnet, then it is just a temporary magnet, but if it uses an electric current, then it is an electro-magnet.
