Eva makes a graphic organizer to compare electromagnets with solenoids.

A venn diagram with 2 intersecting circles. The circle on the left is labeled electromagnet and the circle on the right is labeled solenoid. There is an X in the electromagnet circle.

Which description belongs in the region marked X?

"has a metal core"

Reason: electromagnets are coils with a ferromagnetic (metal) core to strengthen the field. Both electromagnets and solenoids use an electric current and produce a bar‑magnet–like field, and "uses electromagnetic induction" is not a defining property of either.
