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.

An iron rod is wrapped with coil wire, which is connected to a battery. The more turns in the wire that's connected to the rod, the more electricity goes through. The electromagnet can be turned off with a switch.

Electromagnets are simply a piece of iron or steel wrapped with wires that carry an electric current. The electric current induces a magnetic field in the iron.

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.
