Magnets work because their atoms are aligned in certain orientation so that the magnetic field is not chaos but is organized as ripples around the matter. Such organized electromagnetic field of any nature can exist without any supporting media like air or water. If you think space is vacuum then you are wrong again. There is a lot of black or dark matter (invisible to current scientific equipment) in this universe and lots of particles like cosmic rays emitted by stars and galaxies. So magnets will work regardless of vacuum or space.

What is a magnet made by electric current?
An electromagnet.
Why electromagnet is used for separating plastic bags?
An electromagnet can attract the metal, leaving the plastic behind.An electromagnet can attract the metal, leaving the plastic behind.An electromagnet can attract the metal, leaving the plastic behind.An electromagnet can attract the metal, leaving the plastic behind.
How is electromagnet the same as permanent?
An electromagnet is only magnetic while current is flowing through the coils. A permanent magnet is always magnetic, and does not need electricity. An example of an electromagnet at work is in a metal scrape yard, where a large electromagnet is used by a crane operator to lift ferrous metals into a crusher (scrapped cars, for instance). The metal drops into the crusher when the electricity is switched off by the crane operator. Therefore, they are only really similar when both are magnetised.
What are the arrangement of moving magnets and wire coil called?
electromagnet
Strong temporary magnet formed when a current is passed through a coil of wire?
This is called an electromagnet. When a current passes through a coil of wire, a magnetic field is generated around the coil. This magnetic field creates a temporary magnet that can attract or repel other magnetic materials.
Can you use electromagnet in space?
Yes, you would be able to use electromagnets in space.
How do electromagnet fire alarms work?
the electromagnet makes the door close when a fire alarm goes off
Do you have to connect a cell to work an electromagnet?
A cell or other (DC) power source must, indeed, be connected to an electromagnet to make it work. It is an electromagnet. Surf the link to our friends at Wikipedia. It's a good article, and the pics are cool.
What does a battery contribute to an electromagnet to help it work?
A core
How does an electromagnet work in blender?
it connets to the bottom of the machine
What must you have for an electromagnet to work that you don't need for a regular magnet?
To make an electromagnet work, you need an electric current flowing through a coil of wire, which is not needed for a regular magnet.
In an electromagnet that turns the drive shaft which does the work?
The driveshaft carries the power but the whole unit does the work.
In an electromagnet which turns the drive shaft that does the work?
The driveshaft carries the power but the whole unit does the work.
How does lectromagnet work in loud speakers?
The electromagnet is a very important part of loud speakers. The electromagnet is always placed in the front of the magnet. When the electricity goes through the electromagnet the field is changed and this produces the vibrations in speakers.
What makes the electromagnet work?
maybe electrical energy i don't know
What must flow through the coil of wire to make the electromagnet work?
An electric current must flow through the coil of wire to make the electromagnet work. This current creates a magnetic field around the coil, inducing magnetism.
Can an electric bell use an electromagnet?
Yes, an electric bell uses an electromagnet to work. When the electric current flows through the coil of wire in the electromagnet, it creates a magnetic field that attracts and repels the metal armature, causing it to strike the bell and produce sound.
