What Is a Permanent Magnet?
A piece of iron or steel which produces a magnetic field
Found in nature as magnetite (Fe3O4) lodestones
Magnetic field causes the permanent magnet to attract iron and some other materials
Two ends of the permanent magnet are usually designated North and South
Opposite magnet ends attract and like magnet ends repel
What Is an Electromagnet?
Electromagnets behave like permanent magnets…
… but their magnetic field is not permanent
Magnetic field is temporarily induced by an electric current
