No. Electromagnets are usually made of a core (some type of metal that can be magnetized such as iron) and a coil. The coil is put around the core, and if current flows through the coil the core will become magnetic.

∙ 14y agoMagnetism is the property of attraction possessed by magnets.
Any object that posses a magnetic field is magnetic.
An electromagnet is a device consisting of an iron or steel core that is magnetized by electric current in a coil that surrounds it.
...so, yes. Electromagnets use magnetism.

∙ 11y agoMagnetism is what makes a standard electric motor work.
DC electrical motors contain large curved permanent magnets, between which coils of wire are wrapped around frames called armatures. When current flows through the wires of the coil, it creates an electromagnetic field. It is the interaction between this created field and the existing magnetic field that causes the motor to turn, as the coil is attracted or repelled by the permanent magnets.
In other motors, interacting fields are created between a fixed part of the motor (stator) and the rotating coil (rotator) in much the same fashion.

What is a stator magnet?
Stator magnet is the stationary part of a rotor system or a siren, found in an electric gen.,electric motor, siren, or biological rotors.
How can a magnet be used to create an electric current?
An electrical current will flow in a conductor, when a magnet is moved next to a conductor - or when the conductor is moved next to the magnet.
What is a magnet made by electric current?
An electromagnet.
What kind of magnet is a magnet made from a steel paper clip?
If it has been magnetized by another magnet, then it is just a temporary magnet, but if it uses an electric current, then it is an electro-magnet.

What machines use magnets?
Every machine with a motor has a magnet. If you plug it in, it has a magnet. If you put in batteries or recharge it, it has a magnet. An automatic pencil sharpener uses magnets. A computer printer uses magnets. A refrigerator motor uses magnets. An electric razor uses magnets. A fan uses magnets. Hair cutters use magnets. Nose clippers use magnets. Look around your room and see what else uses a motor.
What is magnet and uses?
an magnet is a object that attracts or repel
What is a magnet that is creadted from electric current through a wire?
Electro-Magnet
A magnet can generate an electric current in a wire if the magnet is close enough to the wire and if the magnet is also?
strong
What are the uses of electro magnet?
The most common uses of an electro magnet begin with the harnessing of electricity in windmills.
Does a magnet use an electric charge?
lol the term "magnet" means energy.
Is an electric kettle a temporary magnet?
A kettle does not have a magnetic force on its own. However, since it is metal, it can attract a magnet.
