An electromagnet can be made simply. When an electric current flows in a wire it creates a magnetic field around the wire. By winding the wire into a coil we can strengthen the magnetic field. Electromagnets are made from coils like this.

How is a permanent magnet made?

The material from which the magnet is to be made is heated so that it is above what is called the curie temperature. The material is then allowed to cool in a magnetic field. The magnetic field can be made by coiling wire and passing an electric current through it.


How is an electromagnet similar to a magnet?

The reason is because an electromagnet is hooked up to an artificial energy force, while a magnet is a charged piece of metal example: a battery hooked up to a piece of iron attracts paperclips but a magnet can be made by stroking a paperclip against a bar magnet to create a temporary magnet somewhat how a compass works
