How are electromagnets diffrent to either temporary or pemanent magents?

Electromagnets are formed by passing an electric current through a coil of wire, creating a magnetic field as long as the current flows. Temporary magnets are magnets that only exhibit magnetic properties when placed in a magnetic field. Permanent magnets retain their magnetism without needing an external magnetic field or electric current.
