Why electromagnets are called temporary magnets?


Open in App
Solution

Explanation:

  1. An electromagnet is called a temporary magnet because it produces a magnetic field only when the current flows in its coil.
  2. The magnetic field vanishes when the current is switched off.
  3. The polarity of electromagnets depends on the direction of the current in the coil.
