Solution

The correct option is B False
A current-carrying coil cannot be used as a permanent magnet.
Because when the current stops it will lose all its magnetic properties.
This process of behaving like a magnet only when a current is flowing through them is called as electromagnetism.
So it acts as an electromagnet.
Therefore, the answer is false.
