Question
Under what conditions permanent electromagnet is obtained if a current carrying solenoid is used? Support your answer with the help of a labelled circuit diagram.

Answer

Permanent electromagnet is obtained if:
  1. Direct current flows through the solenoid and
  2. Steel rod (a magnetic substance) is placed inside the solenoid.
In other words, a steel rod can be made a permanent electro-magnet if it is placed inside a solenoid carrying direct current as shown in figure.
