What is the difference between a permanent magnet and a temporary magnet?

Answer 1

Temporary magnet: good example is an electromagnet. It maintains magnetic attraction only so long as an electric current surrounds it. Permanent magnet: most common. Example: bar magnet. Will maintain magnetic properties for quite a while, although they can be eventually demagnetized.

Answer 2

A material that is easily magnetized tends to lose its magnetism quickly may be called a Temporary Magnet. Most temporary magnets, however, are electromagnets, made of coils of wire , sometimes wrapped around a metal core. An electromagnet looses its magnetism when electric current is not flowing through the coils.

A magnet that is hard to magnetize but tends to keep its magnetism is called, a Permanent Magnet.

Permanent magnets don't lose their magnetism.

Answer 3

Permanent magnets, such as magnetite or rare-earth elements, retain their magnetic properties perpetually, while temporary magnets exhibit magnetic properties only when affected by a magnetic field produced by an electric current or another permanent magnet.

Answer 4

Temporary magnets are those which posses magnetism temporarily eg: electomagnet it shows magnetism till when electricity is passed through it.

Permanent magnets are natural magnets they shows permanent magnetism

Answer 5

Once magnetized, permanent magnets retain their magnetism properties. On the other hand, temporary magnets lose their magnetic ability once they are out of a magnetic field.

Answer 6

A permanent magnet has natural magnetic properties while a temporal magnet is created by artificial means.

Answer 7

The poles of a temporary magnet are not aligned until electricity is passing through the wire.
