Question

What is the difference between electromagnet and permanent magnet ​

Answer 1

Explanation:

• A permanent magnet is an object made from a material that is magnetized and creates its own persistent magnetic field. ... An electromagnet is made from a coil of wire which acts as a magnet when an electric current passes through it.

Answer 2

Answer:

A permanent magnet is an object made from a material that is magnetized and creates its own persistent magnetic field. As the name suggests, a permanent magnet is 'permanent'. This means that it always has a magnetic field and will display a magnetic behavior at all times.

An electromagnet is made from a coil of wire which acts as a magnet when an electric current passes through it. Often an electromagnet is wrapped around a core of ferromagnetic material like steel, which enhances the magnetic field produced by the coil.
