Detailed Solution

The above statement is False.
An electromagnet made up of a coil wrapped on a core which produces a magnetic effect. The core should be made of metal that allows more current through it so that it creates a necessary magnetic effect and also has higher magnetic permeability. Hence, soft iron can be used as a core for making an electromagnet.
The corrected statement would be, an electromagnet's core can be made of soft iron.
