A refrigerator magnet is magnetic because it is a "permanent" magnet. An electromagnet is a magnetic field caused by a current flowing through a wire.

How is a electromagnet and a refrigerator?

An electromagnet is a temporary magnet created by passing an electric current through a coil of wire wrapped around an iron core. In a refrigerator, an electromagnet is used in the compressor motor to create a magnetic field that causes the motor to rotate and pump refrigerant through the system, helping to cool the refrigerator.


Is the magnetic field of an electromagnet different to a bar magnet?

The magnetic domains in a refrigerator magnet are laid down in parallel strips. They are also re-curved back on themselves so that the back side of the magnet has both north and south poles. If you put two refrigerator magnets back-to-back and move them around a little, it won't take long for you to "feel" the strips of magnetism. The common bar magnet have two simple poles at the ends.
