Interesting question. The answer is maybe - it depends on the construction of the electromagnet. the key is the electromagnet must be water proof, and the wiring used to create the magnet must be insulated from water - if this is not done, then current will flow through the water, which will decay the effectiveness of the electromagnet, along with robbing it of strength due to a decrease in current through the magnet.

What happens if a magnet gets wet?
Yes, a magnet will work under water. To cite one example, a magnet on a string out on the docks is sometimes used to retrieve car keys that tourists sometimes accidently drop into the water.
Can you cut a magnet and the magnet still work?
No. You'll end up with two smaller magnets, and each will have less than half the magnetic field strength of the original magnet.
Can you move a can without touching it?
Yes, using a magnet or wind or water.
How do you separate iron oxide and salt water?
A strong magnet or electromagnet can be used to hold the iron oxide(rust) in place as the water is poured off. Care should be taken to bring all of the rust near the magnet in order to collect it all.
What might happen if you drop a permanent magnet or strike it hard?
A permanent magnet may become unmagnetized because a shock it will have.
Can a magnet pick up a paper clip when both are under water?
yes

Can an electromagnet work underwater?
Yes it can because water will not interfere with the magnet as it is working
Will rinsing off Bakugan under water once cause rusting or problems with the magnet?
no
How can be destroyed?
---- Magnetism can be destroyed by following methods:---- * By heating the magnet, * By hammering the magnet.--->In accordance to this point...allowing the magnet to fall violently* By keeping similar poles of magnets together for a long time. * [not sure about this]by keeping magnet under running water.
Do water magnets work?
Yes. Water is diamagnetic, but it impedes a magnet's strength only very slightly, not to a significant degree.

If you drop a magnet it will?
If you drop a magnet it will hit the object under it
Is a magnet more dense than water?
a magnet is more dense then water
What will a magnet pick up?
a magnet will pick up another magnet. magnet will stick to iron. Fun Activity: if you have more than one magnet you can play a trick to your friends. you just need one magnet under a iron desk and put another magnet over on top of the desk. once you did that make sure that your friends doesnt see your hand under the desk and touching the magnet. slowly move the magnet under the desk so that it doesnt make lots of noise. then once you move the magnet under the desk the other magnet that is on top of it on the desk will move.
When a piece of iron behaves like a magnet when it is touching a permanent magnet that is called?
The process by which a iron piece touching a permanent magnet behaves as a magnet as long as it maintains contact is called magnetic induction. not only does this work when the iron is physically touching the magnet but it works as long as the piece of iron remains under the influence of the magnet. A iron piece attracted to a magnet through a paper with out any physical contact will also behave as a magnet.
Can a Magnet work in any kind of liquid?
I think if you put a magnet in a liquid i think it is not going to work again. I think if you put a magnet in a liquid i think it is not going to work again.
