In order to create an electromagnet, an electric current must be applied to the copper wire. Option B
We create an electromagnet when we allow current to pass across a coil that is wound around a soft iron core. The soft iron core will become magnetized by the time the current is switched off.
Given the fact that an electromagnet can be created by simple passage of current across a soft iron core that has a copper wire wound round it, it then follows that in order to create an electromagnet, an electric current must be applied to the copper wire. Option B
