Yes true. Even without the iron core as current passes through the coil then the coil would act as a magnetic shell. If the wire is wound in a helical form, then the device is known as solenoid. So with the current in the solenoid it would act as if a bar magnet. If iron core is introduced then the magnetic lines would be concentrated and hence an intense magnet could be produced. The pole of this system will be determined by using 'end rule'.

What is A tempoary magnet made when electric currents flows through a wire wrapped around an iron case?

This is called an elecro-magnet, and it is only magnetized while current is running through it.


Why does a electromagnet work?

An electromagnet works by creating a magnetic field when an electric current flows through a coil of wire. This magnetic field attracts ferromagnetic materials, such as iron, causing them to be magnetized temporarily as long as the electric current is flowing.
