Temporary magnets consist of soft metals. These materials only show their magnetic properties when they are near an electric current or a permanent magnet field. They lose their magnetic properties gradually when they are withdrawn from the scope of the magnetic field. Soft iron and some iron alloys can be easily magnetised even in a weak magnetic field. However, they instantly lose their magnetism when the magnetic field is removed. These excellent temporary magnets are used in electrical devices like electric motors and telephones.
