Electromagnets can have higher "domain currents" than permanent magnets, and have no non-aligned nor anti-aligned domains like permanent magnets tend to have (or get over time).

How is an electromagnet different a bar magnet?

a electromagnet is bigger than a bar magnet


Which is better a permanent magnet or an electromagnet?

electromagnet


An advantage of an electromagnet (in contrast to a bar magnet) is?

An electromagnet can be turned on and off.


Where are the two types of electromagnet and a bar magnet commonly used?

I'm not sure where a bar magnet is used, but an electromagnet is used in junkyards, and in some laboratories.


What does a electromagnet have that a bar magnet does not have?

The bar magnet and the electromagnet act identical. The difference being a electromagnet is a coil of wire that has a power source connect to both ends, this energizes the coil with an electromagnetic field.


If an electromagnet were used instead of a bar magnet to pick up nails the electromagnet would do what?

It will pick up the nails the same way a bar magnet would do!


The magnetic field of an electromagnet is similar to that of a magnet?

bar


What is the difference in a common bar magnet and 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?


What advantage does a electromagnet have over a bar magnet?

The electromagnet can be turned on and off depending on whether it's needed or not.


Is the magnetic field of an electromagnet different to a bar magnet?

The magnetic domains in a refrigerator magnet are laid down in parallel strips. They are also re-curved back on themselves so that the back side of the magnet has both north and south poles. If you put two refrigerator magnets back-to-back and move them around a little, it won't take long for you to "feel" the strips of magnetism. The common bar magnet have two simple poles at the ends.


Using the north pole of a bar magnet how can you prove that a nail has become an electromagnet?

Put the South pole of the nail against the bar magnet to see if it attracts or repels.


What is the difference between a bar magnet and a electromagnet?

A bar magnet is a permanent magnet that produces a magnetic field without the need for an external power source. An electromagnet is a temporary magnet that produces a magnetic field when an electric current flows through a coil of wire. The strength of an electromagnet can be controlled by adjusting the amount of current flowing through the coil.
