A) Bar magnets have a north and south pole, but electromagnets do not.

B) Electromagnets are strong, permanent magnets, but bar magnets are always weaker.

C) Electromagnets are only magnetized when a current flows through a wire wrapped around the core.

Eliminate

Answer 1

a i think sorry if its wrong

Answer 2

C) Electromagnets are only magnetized when a current flows through a wire wrapped around the core.

Step-by-step explanation:

An electromagnet is a magnet that runs on electricity. Unlike a permanent magnet (bar magnet), amount of electric current that flows through electromagnet changes the strength of an electromagnet. The poles of an electromagnet are determined by flow of electricity.
