Solution
Following are the advantages of electromagnet over permanent magnets.
1) An electromagnet can produce a strong magnetic field
2) The strength of the magnetic field of an electromagnet can be easily changed by changing the current in its solenoid.

Magnetic scalar potential is defined as `U(vec r_2) - U(vec r_1) = - ∫_vec(r_1)^vec(r_2)` `vec (B) . dvec(l)`
