Question

Can steel be used in making an electromagnet?

Answer 1

Answer:

no

Explanation:

we cannot use steel as core of electromagnet because steel does not lose magnetism when current is stopped and it becomes permanent magnet. That is why steel is not used in making electro magnet.

Answer 2

Answer:

No

Explanation:

Steel is not preferred for making electromagnet, as steel when the electric current passes, becomes a permanent magnet and retains its magnetism even when the current is turned off, unlike soft iron which loses its magnetism after the current is turned off. Hence, steel cannot be used in making an electromagnet.
