Solution
The correct option is D Both the Statements are wrong. A temporary magnet behaves as a magnet as long as current flows in the coil of insulated wire in it. In permanent magnets, magnetic properties are retained permanently. Thus, in a temporary magnet, the position of north and south pole can be interchanged by reversing the direction of current through the coil. In a permanent magnet, the north pole and south pole are fixed.
