Question
State any two advantages of electromagnets over permanent magnets.
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.
