Question
What is an electromagnet? What do you know about the simplest form of an electromagnet?

Solution
The electromagnet is a temporary magnet which can be magnetized or demagnetized in a very short time as per our requirements. In the simplest form, an electromagnet consists simply of a soft iron core around which a large number of turns of insulated wire are wound. Two of the simple forms of an electro magnet are shown in the figure alongside.
