Yes, if it's strong enough.
it can pick up mild steel metal and that's all i know sorry.
a scrap yard magnet is an electro magnet used to pick up bits of metal. this is used because it can drop the metal because it can be turned on and off
The electro-magnet can be switched on and pick up metal. Then the electro-magnet can be switched off and the metal will be released. A natural magnet would not release the metal.
You can't. It doesn't matter which end of a cow magnet is North or South. As long as it can pick up metal and the metal sticks to it, then it works just fine.
Magnets only pick up ferromagnetic materials. There are many metals that a magnet will not pick up. A magnet will pick up an iron nail but will not pick up a piece of copper wire. Magnets will only pick up Nickel, Cobalt, Iron, and Steel, if I remember my middle school science correctly.
An electro magnet.
No
Magnets are use to pick up things, in electric motors, to hold things on a metal wall, and in MRI.
Yes - if you have a powerful enough magnet !
No
No
It could be either one. It all depends on what you need to use it for. For example, you need a magnet to pick up scrap metal, but the same magnet is no good at all for lighting a flashlight.
