Question

A coil of wire can become a temporary magnet if connected to a battery O True O False

Answer 1

Answer:

true

Explanation:

An Electromagnet is called as a temporary magnet, because electromagnet is made up of insulated copper wire wrapped around soft iron, which allows current to flow in it and at that moment iron gains it magnetic properties and when the current is switched off, then there will be no flow of current and hence iron loses its magnetic properties.  

Hence it works temporarily as long as electric current flows in a conductor and hence known as temporary magnet. .
