Question

State whether true or false :
An electromagnet requires a continuous supply of current to maintain the magnetic field.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

The main advantage of an electromagnet over a permanent magnet is that the magnetic field can be quickly changed by controlling the amount of electric current in the winding. However, unlike a permanent magnet that needs no power, an electromagnet requires a continuous supply of current to maintain the magnetic field.
