According to an informative piece by BYJU’s, titled “Difference Between Electromagnet and Permanent Magnet,” a fundamental distinction exists between electromagnets and permanent magnets.
Electromagnets exhibit a magnetic field that emerges when an electric current flows through them, yet this magnetic influence dissipates once the current ceases. Permanent magnets, on the other hand, are crafted from magnetic materials that possess their inherent magnetism, resulting in an enduring magnetic field. This magnetic trait is ever-present and unchanging.
Diving deeper into the topic, the article reveals that permanent magnets maintain an unwavering magnetic field, while electromagnets’ magnetic fields are contingent on the circulation of electrical current. The construction of an electromagnet involves a wire coil, which transforms into a magnet under the influence of electric current. Often, an electromagnet encases a ferromagnetic substance like steel to amplify its magnetic potency.
These disparities underscore the distinct applications and characteristics of electromagnets and permanent magnets, casting light on the intricate realm of magnetism.
