Solution

The correct option is C
electromagnet

An electromagnet is a type of magnet in which the magnetic field is generated with the help of an electric current. Magnetic materials can behave like electromagnets if a current is passed through a coil around them. It is a temporary magnet, i.e. it loses its magnetic properties as soon as the current flow is stopped. Electric bell has an electromagnet in it which attracts the striker.
