Electro magnets differs from permanent magnet because it requires electricity. A simple electro magnet consists of an iron rod wrapped in a coil of copper and when electricity flows through the copper, a magnetic field is formed.

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.
