CONCEPT:

  • Artificial magnet is the type of magnets that are produced by man under influence of an external magnetic field. Bar magnet, Horseshoe magnet & Electromagnet are examples of artificial magnet.
  • Permanent magnets are materials where the magnetic field is generated by the internal structure of the material itself The magnetite of Lodestone is an example of Natural magnets
  • When an electric field passes through a conductor it generates a magnetic field
  • The hence induced current is used to produce a Temporary magnet
  • Earth is a giant magnet with north and south magnetic poles and a magnetic field called the magnetosphere
  • It is believed that this magnetic field is produced because of the motion of charged particles due to the convection current inside the earth’s core.

EXPLANATION:

According to the given condition:

  • Artificial magnet loses its magnetic field gradually with time hence we can say it is short-lived
  • Unlike artificial magnet, the magnetization of Permanent magnet last for a large period of time hence it is Long-lived
  • A temporary magnet or electromagnet produces a magnetic field only until the current is induced through the conductor.
  • Earth acts as a magnet and it lasts for an infinitely long period.
  • Hence the correct option is A.
