What does the electromagnet pick up?
Ferrous metal.
What does an electromagnet pick up?
Iron, Nickel, Cobalt
Why would electromagnet be used in a recycling yard rather than a strong permanent magnet?
Because with an electromagnet, you can turn it off and on - you can pick things up with it then drop them again.
What is an advantage of using an electromagnet over a permanent magnet?
The advantage of an elecromagnet is that you can turn it on and off with a simple switch. So for example if you want to pick up a scrap car with a crane/electromagnet and move it, you can turn the electromagnet off when you want to release the car. You could not do the with a permanent magnet obviously.
A Study was done with an electromagnet system made from a battery and wire wrapped around a nail. Different sizes of nails were used the number of paper clips that the electromagnet could pick up?
i am pretty sure the size of nail doesn't matter.

How can a electromagnet pick up more metal things?
More than what? - An electromagnet can pick up metal due to its magnetism - assuming it is turned on. If you increase the current, the electromagnet becomes more powerful - but you must be careful not to pass too much current, otherwise the wires might burn through.
Can an electromagnet pick up a train segment?
Yes. There are huge electromagnets suspended from cranes that could do that.
Why would electromagnet be used in a recycling yard rather than a strong permanent magnet?
