Mark as favorite Copy Link The core of an electromagnet must be soft iron because soft iron losses all of its magnetism when current in the coil is switched off. If steel is used for making the core of an electromagnet, the steel does not lost all its magnetism when the current is stopped and it becomes a permanent magnet.

None of the above. Check Answer
