Question

When the current is switched off, the electromagnet loses its magnetism.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

1. An electromagnet is a temporary magnet.
2. It works on the principle of the magnetic effect of current.
3. When an electric current is allowed to pass through it, one end behaves like a north pole and the other end like a south pole.
4. Polarity of the ends depends on the direction of the current.
5. As the current gets off, magnetism disappears.

Hence, the given statement is true.
