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.

What happens if a magnet gets wet?
Yes, a magnet will work under water. To cite one example, a magnet on a string out on the docks is sometimes used to retrieve car keys that tourists sometimes accidently drop into the water.
Can you cut a magnet and the magnet still work?
No. You'll end up with two smaller magnets, and each will have less than half the magnetic field strength of the original magnet.
Can you move a can without touching it?
Yes, using a magnet or wind or water.
How do you separate iron oxide and salt water?
A strong magnet or electromagnet can be used to hold the iron oxide(rust) in place as the water is poured off. Care should be taken to bring all of the rust near the magnet in order to collect it all.
What might happen if you drop a permanent magnet or strike it hard?
A permanent magnet may become unmagnetized because a shock it will have.
Will rinsing off Bakugan under water once cause rusting or problems with the magnet?
no
Can a Magnet work in any kind of liquid?
I think if you put a magnet in a liquid i think it is not going to work again. I think if you put a magnet in a liquid i think it is not going to work again.
How will I get my gold wedding ring that has fallen down between pipes in the bathroom under the floor boards if a magnet won't work?
get a plumber
Will water weaken a magnet?
Water can temporarily weaken a magnet by disrupting the magnetic force between its molecules. However, once the water is removed and the magnet is dried thoroughly, its magnetic strength should return to normal. Prolonged exposure to water can cause rusting and permanent damage to the magnet.
What can ruin a magnet?
water
Do magnet bracelets work?
There is no scientific proof whatsoever that magnet bracelets work. There will be a few people who swear by them. And there will always be vendors.
How do magnetic sweepers work?
They work by using a magnet.
Is this windmill work by magnet?
No its work by wind...hence windmill.
Does magnets work in water?
Yes, magnetism happens even under water.
Can magneto fly?
he can fly with magnet under his feet
How are beavers built for under water work?
there ears and there mouth get seeled so thet they can be under water for about 15-20 minuts
When a piece of iron behaves like a magnet when it is touching a permanent magnet that is called?
The process by which a iron piece touching a permanent magnet behaves as a magnet as long as it maintains contact is called magnetic induction. not only does this work when the iron is physically touching the magnet but it works as long as the piece of iron remains under the influence of the magnet. A iron piece attracted to a magnet through a paper with out any physical contact will also behave as a magnet.
