If I have a cylindrical permanent magnet and an electromagnet with both poles facing each other, would the permanent magnet attract to the soft-iron core of the electromagnet? Assuming both magnets are restricted on an axis and have +/- equal strength (~375lb pull force, 2" cross sectional diameter).
I would assume the electric current would temporary magnetize the soft-iron core, thus temporary eliminating its attraction force. But I am not sure.
