Explanation:
An electromagnet is a type of magnet in which the magnetic field is produced by an electric current. Electromagnets usually consist of wire wound into a coil. A current through the wire creates a magnetic field which is concentrated in the hole, denoting the center of the coil.
properties
(i) An electromagnet is temporary in nature. (ii) An electromagnet is made of a soft iron core. (iii) The magnetic field strength can be changed. (iv) An electromagnet can be easily demagnetized by switching off the current.

What is an electromagnet?Mention two properties of an electromagnet.
A magnet produced by passing an electric current through a coil wound around a soft iron core is called electromagnet.
- An electromagnet 's strength depends on the number of turns of wire and the amount of current passing through it.
- An electromagnet is not a permanent magnet.
- Its Magnetism lasts only while a current passes through its coil.
