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

What is the magnetic field of an electromagnet similar to?
The magnetic field of an electromagnet is similar to the magnetic field of a permanent magnet. Both exhibit magnetic properties and can attract or repel other magnetic materials. The strength of the magnetic field of an electromagnet can be controlled by adjusting the electrical current flowing through it.
Is electromagnet a permanent magnet?
No, an electromagnet is not a permanent magnet. It is a magnet that produces a magnetic field when an electric current is passed through it, and the magnetic field disappears when the current is turned off.
What is different about an electromagnet compared to a regular magnet?
An electromagnet is different from a regular magnet because it can be turned on and off by controlling the flow of electricity through it, while a regular magnet is always magnetic.
How is a electromagnet diffrent then a permanent magnet?
An electromagnet is a temporary magnet that only produces a magnetic field when an electric current is flowing through it, while a permanent magnet retains its magnetism without needing an external electric current. Additionally, the strength of an electromagnet can be easily adjusted by changing the amount of current flowing through it, while the strength of a permanent magnet is fixed.
Would an electromagnet be attracted to a magnet?
Yes electromagnet would be attracted to a magnet provided direct current flows through the coil ie when the electromagnet is activated. As unlike poles attract each other the magnet is to placed accordingly. Otherwise repulsion would take place.
The magnetic field of an electromagnet is similar to that of a magnet?
bar
What is the magnetic field of an electromagnet similar to?
The magnetic field of an electromagnet is similar to the magnetic field of a permanent magnet. Both exhibit magnetic properties and can attract or repel other magnetic materials. The strength of the magnetic field of an electromagnet can be controlled by adjusting the electrical current flowing through it.
How is an electromagnet different a bar magnet?
a electromagnet is bigger than a bar magnet
Which is better a permanent magnet or an electromagnet?
electromagnet
Is the worlds biggest magnet a magnet or electromagnet?
the world is
Is a permanent magnet called a hard magnet or a electromagnet?
Perminant magnet
What is a magnet made by electric current?
An electromagnet.
Why will an electromagnet be able to pick up more steel cans than a permanent magnet?
An electromagnet is a stronger magnet.
Which type of magnet is created from an electromagnet?
a temporary magnet can be created by an electromagnet but it can also be created by any type of strong magnet
An advantage of an electromagnet (in contrast to a bar magnet) is?
An electromagnet can be turned on and off.
What is a magnet that can be turned off?
An electromagnet.
What is the similarities between a bar magnet and a electromagnets?
Both are magnets, but an electromagnet needs electricity to become a magnet. Hence, a magnet is also the same as a electromagnet.Also a magnet Will attract ferrous metals as will an electromagnet, when switched on!
