Solution
The following conditions are required to obtain permanent electromagnet when a current-carrying solenoid is used :
- Rod inside the solenoid should be made of a magnetic material like steel which should retain magnetic properties for a long time after magnetization.
- The current through the solenoid should be direct current.
- The number of turns in the solenoid should be large and closely packed so that a strong uniform magnetic field inside it is produced.
